Children born with facial deformities suffer in seclusion. They withdraw from school, and withdraw from the world. But it should not be this way.
A 45-minute simple operation can change a child’s life forever and restore their dignity as a person. A simple operation can open doors to a child’s future who suffer from correctable deformities.
To repair a child’s face is to rehabilitate not only their smile, but also their spirit. To repair a child’s face is to give that child an opportunity to go to school, to eat a meal, to speak so others can understand.
Once the physical aspect of a deformity is treated, it allows for the emotional healing to begin. This is why Operation Smile sets high goals each year and always stretch to the absolute extent of its capacity to seek like-minded humanitarians, who generously support their missions.
It is estimated that one in every 500 children born in the Philippines will have a cleft lip and/or cleft palate. Hence, Operation Smile encourages private and public institutions to join its efforts to reach out to these impoverished Filipino children through a local mission. It is an investment that will last a lifetime in the face of each child. It is how OSP is “changing lives, one smile at a time”.
Since 1982, through the help of dedicated medical volunteers and generous partners — 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 AROUND THE WORLD. As one of the most prominent children’s charities in the world with a presence in over 60 COUNTRIES, we are able to heal children’s smiles and bring hope for a better future.
On NOVEMBER 8 to DECEMBER 2, 2012, Operation Smile will undertake another milestone as it celebrates its 30th year! Operation Smile will celebrate with a special homecoming mission to the Philippines to give back to the country that gave birth to what is now a global children’s medical charity organization. It aims to provide free life medical treatments to at least 6,000 Filipino children and young adults in 24 days through 10 dental and cleft surgical missions sites in various parts of the country, namely, Koronadal City, Cavite, Cebu, Cagayan De Oro, General Santos, Silay City, Manila, Naga and Pampanga.
