I have to tell you that I am so impressed with an Organization that can literally change a child's world in 45 minutes. Operation Smile is such an organization. They are an international children's medical charity that heals children's smiles, forever changing their lives.

Did you know that  every three minutes a child is born with a cleft ? This condition  often leaves them  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. This is where Operation Smile comes in. They have an amazing resource of Doctors who kindly volunteer their time to provide FREE operations for children all over the world and it is through donations and volunteers like you and me that these surgeries can continue to take place.

When you see the value of what $24o.00 dollars can do, it is astounding that there are still people who don't or won't give to such an amazing cause.

Imagine.. having a huge hole in your face where your lips/mouth and pallette should be…Then imagine that in 45 minutes, that disfiguring hole is seamlessly closed and a formerly shunned child can now have a friend and family members who will love them.

Thank you all so much for caring and if you can, please give even 20 dollars a month to help a child SMILE!
