On 24 March 2022 Juander underwent his first surgery to repair his soft palate (read the story here) and then on the 23rd of June 2022 Blissful Cleft Foundation gave Juander his forever smile.

​

Dr S Naido did Juander's hard palate and lip repair at Mediclinic Southern Africa Midstream.

​

We would like to thank a few people who helped us to make this day a blissful one.

In no particular order:

​

Thank you to Dr Johannes Vlok (anaesthetist) and Dr Esna Klaassen for assisting Dr Naidoo in theatre and to the amazing nursing team in theatre and in the Paediatric ward.
