PCS was founded in 2007 to provide free care for Palestinian children with cleft lip and palate, and other congenital craniofacial anomalies. The Cleft Society is made up of Palestinian surgeons, speech therapists, dentists, orthodontists, geneticists, and pediatricians, as well as foreign cleft practitioners who have provided support to the Palestinian practitioners. PCS is supported by the University of North Carolina (UNC) Medical Foundation.

First Day
My name is Sarah Zamamiri, one of the PCS interns, and I have always dreamed of the day I would go to Palestine and help my people somehow. I guess dreams really do come true.Yesterday (May 15th, 2012) was my first day as an intern and though the mission has not started yet, I felt like I have already made a difference. Just helping set up the new center, filing paper work, and preparing the registry for the new incoming patients, has made me appreciate what the Palestinian Cleft Society does and the impact it makes on children's lives and their families. I look forward to starting the mission and being a part of the extraordinary work that the PCS does.
