A boy, inflicted with a cleft lip, lies on a hospital bed after surgery as his mother reads the post-operation care plan during "Operation Restore Hope" at Diosdado Macapagal Memorial Medical Center in Caloocan City, Metro Manila April 12, 2010. Operation Restore Hope, a group of medical volunteers from Germany, New Zealand and Australia who perform surgeries for underprivileged children every year, aim to provide free surgery for about 70-80 children inflicted with cleft lips, cleft palates, and other facial deformities over a period of five days.
