Sharing a smile is a gift itself, especially for your Valentine. But there are people all over the world who cannot share their gift because of a cleft lip or palate. This is a major problem in developing countries. Many of those affected cannot speak or eat properly, and many cannot attend school or work because of their abnormal facial appearance.
Smile Train is an organization that helps young adults and children in developing countries have their cleft lip and/or palate fixed. They provide free cleft surgery for millions of underprivileged children and free cleft-related training for local doctors and medical professionals in these developing countries.
A 45-minute surgery is all it takes for these children and young adults to smile again. For more information, click here.
