About Operation Smile
Operation Smile (http://www.operationsmile.org/) began in 1982 with Dr. Bill Magee and his wife Kathy. After venturing to the Philippines with a group of medical volunteers to surgically heal children’s cleft lips and palettes, Bill and Kathy made it their life mission to raise funds, gather volunteers and spread awareness to help children that suffer from this condition world-wide.
At Operation Smile, medical volunteers provide their surgical services to children in need completely free of charge. For each surgery it only costs as little as two hundred and forty dollars per surgery. As a world-wide charitable organization, Operation smile is dedicated to raising awareness of this life threatening condition and to provide lasting solutions one child at a time.
Currently volunteering in over 60 countries, the organization has demonstrated the powerful effect of combining resources, passion, and thousands of volunteers with the will to make a difference. For more information about Operation Smile visit: www.operationsmile.org.
