Operation Smile Concert Poster

For Operation Smile, the club that supports children with hare lips, we are organizing a charity concert night on Saturday the 14th of April.

Those performing will be the Composers' Club from school: it's good practice and good experience for these students, as many of them are in IB Music or IB Drama, and so the performance should aid them in achieving better public speaking skills.
As well as helping ISK students, we are also helping Kenyan children with cleft lips and palates become cleft free and 'smile-prone'.

The problems that these children face every day include stigmatization, being ostracized and having people, including their own mothers and fathers, run away from them in fear.
They have huge difficulties when it comes to drinking, eating and speaking, and this hinders their social development. Many of them won't live for very long, and most will never have the chance to start a family.
With an operation that costs as little as $240, these children can live a normal life: go to school, make friends, grow up and create a family. (If you wish to Donate, Volunteer, Tell a Friend or Get Help, please click on the appropriate links.)

I volunteered to make the poster for the concert, because I enjoy using photoshop, and I love doing creative things to help others:
(The girl in the poster's name is Brigid, and she lives in rural Kenya. She who received her operation shortly after this photo was taken.)

If you would like to come and see our students performing songs that they composed or re-written, and you would like to help us with supporting the Operation Smile project in Kenya, then please come to the concert on Saturday 14th of April at the ISK Arts Centre.
