Operation Smile

Post author By clubsweek
Post date September 17, 2020

About us:

Operation Smile is a non-profit club that supports medical volunteers to repair children’s cleft lips and cleft palates. More than 200,000 children are born with a severe cleft condition each year — 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 healthy life. For only $240, Operation Smile can change a child’s life by giving the gift of surgery. With your help, how many lives can we change tomorrow?

Western Lifeline

Post date September 17, 2020

About us:
Western Lifeline is the pro-life presence at UWO. We believe in human rights for all human beings and defend human life from its beginning at fertilization until its conclusion at natural death. We seek to address various life issues, focusing particularly on the human rights violation of abortion.Our mission is to make abortion unthinkable on our campus. Since university students (ages 20-24) make up the demographic with the highest rate of abortions nationwide, we have the responsibility to expose the inhumanity of abortion and the humanity of pre-born children to our fellow peers. As pro-life leader Gregg Cunningham once said:â€œInjustice that is invisible inevitably becomes tolerable. But injustice that is made visible inevitably becomes intolerable.
