So, I have been studying for a Mental Health test on week, and reading about antipsychotics and such, nothing that I feel that would serve as helpful info for the general population.
I stumbled upon my Tuesday trivia tidbit on accident. I was grocery shopping yester day when these cute little fellas caught my eye.
Special Edition Lilly Pulitzer for Barnum’s Animal crackers. I’m a Lilly fan and couldn’t pass these up, I like those crackers too. I think that the animal cracker box should permanently stay like this. It looks like those Jungle creatures are having more fun.
Anyway, I got home and read the back of the box to find out that Lilly Pulitzer and Nabisco Barnum’s Animal Crackers are teaming up to raise funds for Operation Smile.
Operation Smile in an international children’s medical charity that has funded over 200,000 surgeries for children with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other deformities.
It just so happens that we went over cleft lips and palates in class last week, and it can happen to anyone, and sometimes there is no warning that a child is going to have a cleft lip or palate until birth. The new 4D ultrasounds make it easier to identify but it’s still not 100%.
These kids have to go through a series of surgeries, the earliest usually at six months. The lip and palate repairs have a good outcome, but it is devastating at birth and requires some extra adjustment and an already overwhelming milestone.
Anyway, the surgeries are expensive and Operation Smile is a good thing. Go buy some Lilly animal Cracker’s and give yourself something to smile about, and help give a smile to someone else while your at it.
