堅強的張軍(Chinese Only)

逸傑國際慈善基金會每年在國內所舉辦免費唇顎裂醫療活動都會為周邊省市貧困唇顎裂兒童帶來新希望。今年的十一月中,逸傑基金會組織數十人的醫療團隊,再次來到貴州省遵義市,緃使氣温只有十度以下。但每位志願者的心卻是溫暖的。

 
在那裡我們遇上了張軍;他今年七歲,患有嚴重的唇顎裂,住在納雍縣。他的父母無業,媽媽及九歲的姐姐精神並不健全,出生不久弟弟更因媽媽疏忽照顧而夭折,只有兩歲大的妹妹是健康的。張軍天真爛漫,雖然受嚴重顎裂影響導致發音不良,但性格仍十分開朗,還四處逗人玩耍,看來一點都不擔心自己的病況。三年前逸傑基金會曾在他家鄉納雍縣舉行過唇顎裂醫療活動,但張軍當年因為化驗數據未合符標準而未能接受手術。隨後兩年,家人因其他原因亦錯過了獲得手術的機會。到今年,由親戚大媽花了五個小時帶他前來遵義,尋找希望。由於他唇顎裂的情況頗為嚴重複雜,所以今次我們先為他修補唇裂,恢復正常的外貌。來年再修補顎裂。

 
在國內,仍有很多像張軍一樣的患兒,因為貧窮而錯過了治療的黄金時間。大媽她很唏噓的說:「他的一個同村同齡和他一樣情況嚴重的同學,因為家人能支付醫藥費,很少年紀已出市區接受唇顎裂修補手術,這個同學現在不但發音清晰,外貌亦與常人無異。」逸傑基金會及志願者無私無償的付出,只為這群被社會遺忘的患兒,帶來新的生命和希望。受惠的,不只是患兒和父母,改善外貌,減去心理阻礙;更令患兒及家庭可以積極投入社會,從而掃除歧視,及病患對社會造成的負累,惠及社會各界。逸傑基金會希望各界投入更多的關顧及支持,令我們的唇顎裂公益服務能得到進一步的發展。

The Love of Parents Brings Back the Child’s Hope

Zhengzhou, where we have organised several times of medical mission in past years, in the year of 2018, we came to there again, and we saw so many familiar faces in this event.

 
One of them was Xiao Yuyu, who was a 6-year-old, eye-catching child. Unlike other cleft children who are relatively quiet, Xiao Yuyu performed himself actively and energetically. Until last year, through BEAM’s arrangement, Xiao Yuyu has completed three times of the cleft surgeries.

 
The situation of Xiao Yuyu was totally different when he was born. His weight was only 1.5kg when he was still an infant, the size of his body was merely same as his father’s shoe. Not only was he suffering from the severe cleft lip and cleft palate, but also Jaundice and other infections. His parents paid a lot of effort to look after this congenitally weak child, even though they are in poverty, they saved and spent all the money to buy the expensive milk powder which was imported from overseas, fed him by using a teaspoon bit by bit. With the meticulous care from his parents, Xiao Yuyu grown up healthy and lively. To compare with the shyness of him last year, this year, he performed himself cheerfully, confidently. He sang, shared his stories which were learned from school to our volunteers gleefully.

 
At last, he received a surgical treatment provided by BEAM, to repair the remaining cleft palate, and now his life has been restored with happiness and confidence.

A Wishful Smile Will Accompany You for Life

At the screening site of Zunyi Mission 2017, there was a cheerful and energetic child, moving around like a little monkey. His name was called Li Jiangcheng (李江城). He was one and a half years old who suffered from cleft lip and palate. Little Jiangcheng was born in a rural family in Dejiang County, Guizhou Province (貴州省德江縣). His father told us that they discovered that their son was suffering from cleft lip and palate when little Jiangcheng’s mother was doing a prenatal visit during fifth month of pregnancy. Even with this knowledge, they insisted on giving this soon to be born lovely little baby life.

 
However, the trade-off was that they had to give up building their house to save money for the child to undergo the recovery surgery. To earn more money, this couple also decided to travel from the countryside to the city to work, leaving their child to his grand-parents to look after. In October 2016, knowing that there would be a medical mission held in Zunyi, Little Jiangcheng who was just 8 months old came with his parents to Zunyi Hospital. He was very fortunate and successful in receiving a free cleft lip surgery and he recovered in good condition.

 
In September 2017, they came again for Little Jiangcheng’s cleft palate. His parents hoped that little Jiangcheng could be the same as other normal children with the smile and confidence in his life after receiving a free cleft palate surgery provided by Beam International Foundation.
