Being Charitable

Operation Smile is a medical service organization founded in 1982 by Dr Williams and his wife Kathleen. This charity provides cleft lip and palate repair surgeries to children world wide that were unfortunately born with it. Operation smile develops many ways to raise money in order to help all the children with cleft lip issues. This Charity is very helpful to those children and its very easy to donate. A surgery for one child cost $240 and there's many different ways you can donate.
 Dr. William and his Wife Kathleen who was a nurse and social worker traveled to the Philippines to go help the children in need of a surgery. Only 40 children were helped out of the 300 children that went. Dr.William and his wife realized they needed to help these children so they decided to fundraiser and get more doctors to help. Over all they have 18 doctors and nurses and went back to the Philippines and helped 100 children but yet many children were left unhelped. This charity is very important because it helps children get back the smile that they were supposed to be born with.

Operation smile is an important charity to me because I love children and babies. I think that every baby deserves to have a beautiful smile. No child should be picked on because they were born with a cleft lip. Operation Smile is my favorite charity because it helps those families that cant afford to get there baby operated. I know that any donation to Operation smile will get a child closer to having a beautiful smile and not a cleft lip.
