Ali’s journey with GSF began in 2019 when he met our volunteers in Lebanon. As a young child with a cleft lip, Ali’s first reconstructive surgery was a life-changing moment, bringing hope to his family and marking the start of a new chapter in his life. Since that day, he has returned to continue his cleft care, receiving not only essential surgeries but also year-round support from GSF’s outreach programs and our dedicated on-site volunteers. Through each phase of treatment, Ali has been met with care and encouragement, helping him grow into a confident young boy.
From speech therapy and oral hygiene to psychosocial consultations, Ali’s care journey has addressed his needs holistically, ensuring he has the best chance for a healthy, happy future. Watching him flourish brings us profound joy, and seeing his bright smile is a constant reminder of the resilience within each child. We feel incredibly honored to be part of his journey and look forward to seeing the bright future that lies ahead for him.
