Dear Parents,
We had a great turnout
for the Welcome Back Picnic last Saturday. We were blessed with a beautiful
day, and I enjoyed meeting friends old and new. Thanks to everyone who donated money
and bought food from the bake sale, our Operation
Smile Club raised over Rs 24,000.Because of you the club members will be
able to change the lives of two children born with cleft palates. Thanks for
your support!
