Avi Weisfogal is a huge philanthropist and has started a GoFund Me page for the wonderful charity-Operation Smile, he is so touched and inspired by this organization and what they are able to do. They started this work in 1982 by Dr. William Magee who did plastic surgery and his wife Kathleen, who was a nurse. They started this program in the Philippines with other medical professionals to help children born with deformities such as cleft palates and cleft lips in the facial area. They were overwhelmed by the need and the children who desperately needed their help, it was far more than they could handle and that is how they started Operation Smile. They worked on getting donations to use for surgeries from different companies, and whatever supplies they could get. They rounded up a volunteer staff of doctors, nurses, and any technicians that would help on their return trip to the Philippines.

Today that program is helping children all over the world with thousands of professional staff from over eighty different countries that help children in over sixty different countries. Almost a quarter of a million free surgeries have been done all over the world to help children and young teens with facial deformities, they have also worked with the medical staff in these areas to help train them to handle theses types of surgeries and have donated the equipment and supplies that they need.
