Baby born with half face cared for by kind monk over Christmas


 A baby born without a skull and with only half a face was being cared for by a kind monk this Christmas. Social media has been a source of much needed help for baby Nurafaiha, 8 months, who lives in Sayaburi in Southern Thailand. Nurafaiha was born with a cleft lip and pallet as well has having no skull and is blind. Her disabilities mean that she cannot take milk normally and has to be fed through a tube. According to UK Mirror, her case was highlighted on social media as a way to get the funds necessary for treatment by a monk, name of Bhin, from the Ruamkatanyu Foundation in Bangkok.'



There are a total of five children in NurafaihaÕs family, all of the others attend school which is a challenge in itself when the family only have the fatherÕs meagre income from his job in a factory. Consequently Monk Bhin has so far been able to donate 200,000 Thai baht (about £4,400) from the foundation funds and individuals who have responded to his Facebook appeals to assist the family.
