Perhaps my most moving picture is of the boy looking at his new lip in the mirror. He was 15 years old and lay still under local anaesthetic whilst I repaired his lip which had never been repaired. We gave him a mirror at the end and he just stared at himself transfixed. This shot summarises many emotions for me - a picture paints a thousand words’ Per Hall, Jimma, Ethiopia, December 2008

Mr Hall.
Many of us from the Committee know Mr Hall as he operated on our children, and many other children in the East Anglian Region. Mr Hall has been involved in the cleft care for many years and together with the members of the Addenbrooke’s Cleft Team has been very supportive of the branch’s work. We very much appreciate support given to us, to help us support families throughout the East of England Region. We are committed to raise awareness of Operation Smile fantastic work overseas, where the cleft care is not so freely available. Thank you for helping us to continue support projects that Mr Hall and his other team members selflessly give their time, skills and compassion to, with the ever-present goal of helping a child or an adult with a cleft in developing countries, with the
