Dr. Dr. Oliver Blume, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon from Munich, and Dr. Gunther Au-Balbach, oral and maxillofacial surgeon and senior physician from Solingen, have made it their task to educate and train colleagues from Rwanda in the treatment of cleft children. After successfully completing the training of surgeons in Uganda the two members of the German Cleft Children’s Aid Society’s board of trustees are now involved in the organisation and coordination of our aid for cleft children in Rwanda.
South America and Afghanistan

Our projects in Bolivia and Peru are under the supervision of our South America project director Dr. Ulrike Lamlé, an ear, nose and throat specialist from Berlin. For years now Ulrike Lamlé is committed with heart and soul to supporting the organisation of help for the cleft children together with our partners in South America. She also coordinates the educational programme for surgeons in Afghanistan.
India

For the last seven years Stuttgart resident Prof. Dr. Dr. Heinz Lübbe (oral and maxillofacial surgeon and honorary professor at the University of Bangalore) is engaged in the wellbeing and reconvalescence of cleft children on a voluntary basis. As the chairperson of the board of trustees of the German Cleft Children’s Aid Society he not only promoted and supported the establishment of help for cleft children in several countries, but is also the director of our project activities in India and Vietnam.
Vietnam
- Dr. h.c. Susanne Codoni
Our pilot project in the field of myofunctional therapy in Vietnam is supervised by Dr. h. c. Susanne Codoni, Cleft Centre University of Basel. With her support we were able to train Vietnam’s first myofunctional therapist. The myofunctional therapy is easily taught to parents. After a briefing by the therapist they can improve the linguistic abilities of their children with daily stimulation exercises.
