They had no money for the operation and no support from the rest of the family, who blamed Crist\u00f3bal&#8217;s mother for her son being born with a deformity. Crist\u00f3bal&#8217;s parents were very sad and the desperation grew day by day. At the clinic where Crist\u00f3bal was born, his parents were not given any information about his cleft lip and palate or treatment options, nor were the couple&#8217;s family available to support them.<\/p>\n<p>But Crist\u00f3bal&#8217;s story takes a turn for the better: When Crist\u00f3bal was five months old, his parents heard about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spaltkinder.org\/en\/aid-projects\/bolivia\/\">our partner organization Jiwaqui Bolivia<\/a>. Our surgeon Dr. Mamani first closed his cleft lip and four months later also closed his cleft palate. Today there is no visible trace left of him having been born with a cleft.<\/p>\n<h2>A new life for Crist\u00f3bal<\/h2>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spaltkinder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/collage.png\" width=\"1119\" height=\"427\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spaltkinder.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/collage.png\" width=\"1119\" height=\"427\" \/><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>Since the first operation, Crist\u00f3bal and his parents have continued to receive care from our psychologists and speech therapists.
