Transforming Lives in Tlaxcala: September 2010

Check out Arielle's student story. It is a little more in depth about her bond with a special child. Alexandra's will be following shortly. We also look forward to posting our mission videos, and some other fun pictures. We would like to thank you all for reading our blog, and supporting us with our endeavors. There is more to come.

Operation Smile

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.

That's where Operation Smile comes in as an international charity providing much needed surgical services. Since 1982, Operation Smile — through the help of dedicated medical volunteers — has provided more than 2 million patient evaluations and over 200,000 free surgeries for children and young adults born with cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial deformities.

As one of the most prominent children’s charities in the world and with a presence in over 60 countries, Operation Smile is able to heal children’s smiles and bring hope for a better future.

FOR AS LITTLE AS $240, YOU CAN HELP PROVIDE A CLEFT LIP OR CLEFT PALATE SURGERY. THIS SURGERY CAN CHANGE A CHILD'S LIFE FOREVER AND CAN TAKE AS FEW AS 45 MINUTES.
