Operation Smile Students Association

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, sociailize 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?
