ANOTHER YEAR HAS GONANOTHER YEAR HAS GONANOTHER YEAR HAS GONANOTHER YEAR HAS GONE BYE BYE BYE BY With lots of events for raising money for Cleft Care, like Coffee-

mornings, Quiz-night, EWAS-bazar, Theme-night, Walk-a-thon, Golf-

tournament, donations from several companies. Even a photo-shoot

with Santa Claus, who could spare a little of his time to have children

and their families to take pictures with him.

Also the year we became a real foundation, according to Indonesian

law. The installing of the board-members as presented in the April-

newsletter. We have our own Facebook-page now, which people visit

and can learn more about our Foundation and the stories of the

children.

But let ‘s not dwell in the past, there is a New Year to come, a year we

look forward to, because we will again have lots of opportunities to

help bring the smiles to the children of East Java. Thanks to all the

wonderful donors and volunteers who help us with this beautiful task.

A SIMPLE STORY WITH A VALUABLE OUTCOMEA SIMPLE STORY WITH A VALUABLE OUTCOMEA SIMPLE STORY WITH A VALUABLE OUTCOMEA SIMPLE STORY WITH A VALUABLE OUTCOME

Zein was an 8 months old baby boy with a cleft lip. Unfortunately his parents and extended family didn’t

know where to turn to get help until his grandfather met one of our donors, Mr David, who passed on our

contact details. The family immediately got in touch with us and we were able to make a home visit very

quickly.

As Zein was very healthy we were able to arrange surgery at one of our partner hospitals almost straight

away and within two weeks of the home visit it was done! As you can see it is a very good result and the

whole family is very happy.

A postscript to this story: When Zein’s grandfather brought him to the office for his post-surgery review,

he told us that he works for a non-government organization that observes and monitors health service

quality. So he will spread the word about CCI services wherever he goes, this simple act helping us to

arrange surgery quickly for our patients, looking forward to the day when no otherwise healthy child has to

wait.

MILES FOR MILES FOR MILES FOR MILES FOR

SMILESSMILESSMILESSMILES What a nice slogan!

Every mile a student

walked meant a

certain amount of

money for Cleft

Care and on the

27th of November

all the students of

SIS participated in

this Walk-A-Thon. A

lot of miles were

walked and so a lot

of money was

raised this way. We

hope soon these

miles will be

changed into smiles.

YOGYAKARTA

On 3 October Clara and Endang went to

Yogyakarta to share the knowledge of Cleft

Care with 10 dentists and 1 oral surgeon. The

participants were very enthusiastic about this

training, which was about pre- and post-

surgery care.

NEW COOPERATIONNEW COOPERATIONNEW COOPERATIONNEW COOPERATION

Rumah Sakit Columbia Asia – Semarang is a general hospital that is

located in Semarang, within the Province of East Java.

Cleft Care Indonesia knows about this hospital from one of the

patients. Clara & Emma visited the hospital on 27 November to talk

about a new cooperation. They met with Ibu Stella Maria - customer

care executive and Ibu Indah Wijayani - marketing executive.

Ibu Indah explained that the hospital already does cleft surgery since

last year (2014) and operated 26 cleft patients until now. The

hospital got the funds from companies in terms of Corporate Social

Responsibility (CSR). They have a social worker and a general doctor

who visits the patient to check the health condition. They also

provide shuttle service for patients, they pick up the patient in their

house and bring them to the hospital.

Clara explained about Cleft Care and what we do, what we give to

our patients. The staff of RS Columbia Asia would like to start a

collaboration to help cleft children. The hospital will inform CCI

about the new cleft children and CCI will help them with our services

(pre- & post-surgery care and supply nutrition packages if needed).

CCI will send the supply to the patients by post.

We all hope this collaboration will work well.

Due to the fact that most of our volunteers are

expats the foundation is known in quite a few

countries outside Indonesia. As these volunteers

travel home regularly, to Europe for instance, it

happened twice this year they came back to

Indonesia, not only with their suitcases full of

things from their home country, but also with

money or the promise to raise money for the

foundation.

The Inner Wheel Club (Rotary) from Steinerwald,

South Germany, presented to Katrin, a very

inspired lady, living here in Surabaya and visiting

her parents during summer, a check of IDR

5.000.000 for our foundation. Many thanks for

this generous donation.

Un Nouveau Sourire ( A new Smile) is a new

French non-profit organization, created in

September near Lyon by a group of young retired

women, inspired by our board member and

volunteer Marie Jo. There first mission will be to

help Cleft Care Indonesia collecting money for

our actions. Marie Jo, as a French citizen living in

Indonesia, will be able to meet this group twice a

year and make the connection between the 2

organizations.

We welcome "Un Nouveau Sourire" and wish

them success in there project. We will help them

to build up French documentation which will

present our foundation and our actions.

…because every child deserves a smile
