Talk from Tanya Knadjian , Changing Faces
We had a very successful Information Evening (Tue 26th Feb), with over 40 people in attendance, and the talk by Tanya Knadjian from Changing Faces was very well received! Tanya gave us invaluable advice on how our children born with cleft can cope with difference in their school and play environments.

The aim of Changing Faces is to enable people to tackle disfigurement with confidence. It does this by providing information, support, counselling, workshops, family days and other activities.

Contribution towards purchase of 3D Equipment
Posted on January 11th, 2008
Thanks to the efforts of some of our young adults that were born with a cleft, the Association is in a position to contribute €6,700 towards the cost of software required for the new 3D equipment that will be used by the Dublin Cleft Team. The new equipment will facilitate better pre-operation planning for work that is typically carried out on teenagers and young adults. The Association is very pleased to be able to help in this way.
The cheque will be presented to the Dublin Cleft Team at our Information Evening on 26th February.
