Today we watched a documentary called Smile Pinki. It helps to explain the work of an organisation called Smiletrain. We watched the video because of the connection to our unit on Children's Rights. It is also a great model for sustainable action. What did you learn from watching this documentary? How has your thinking changed? Now that you have watched the movie I would like you to add a comment to this post - I used to think........ now I think .......... |

I used to think giving stuff is the best thing you can do but now I know that teaching people helps more.

I used to think cleft pallets used to be a cheap but very long surgery, which you could also treat at home.

I used to think that a cleft lip was just a small thing because after what mr. Ian had told us, it didn't sound so bad, but now that I watched the movie, I feel sorry for those kids who have a cleft lip, because no one wants to talk to them, they don't have friends and for some of them even their parents would get scared just by looking at them.

I used to think that it was a very big surgery to fix a clef lip. I thought that it was dangerous and it costs loads of money. I thought that a cleft lip was a lip that had dis formed and it wasn't that bad. I learnt that in some places a cleft lip is a curse. I learnt that it is easy to repair a cleft lip. I learnt that some amairican sergans train local doctors to fix a cleft lip. I learnt about two lives of different kids who live in India with cleft lips. One is 9 and one is 5. One is a girl one is a boy.

I used to think that Cleft lip was not a big dil and it was not that bad because mr.lan just told us a little bit of what Cleft lip is and when he explained it it did not sound bad at all. But when I watched the video I so how bad it can be and I sow that if you have a Cleft lip your mom and dad do not want you to go to school. People who see people with Cleft lip tell them mean thing. Most children who have a Cleft lip do not go out said sometimes because they are scared that people are going to be mean to them.
