“SMILE TRAIN” is a charity organization that provides free cleft lip and palate surgery for children in developing countries. They perform this surgery for as little as $250 and in only 45 minutes, giving children a new smile and a new life. What’s wonderful about Smile Train is that 100% of the charity contributions go towards these surgeries.
We are a group of passionate and motivated individuals who have been contributing to Smile Train since 2006 in small amounts, around $700 each year. In 2009 we decided to collect $10,000 for Smile Train, which will help 40 children in their surgery. In order to accomplish this big goal, we do understand the importance of reaching out to all our friends and their friends and so on.
The idea is to collect a $10, a small amount of money from each individual (the cost of a lunch or a movie ticket) and channelize our efforts in spreading the word to at least 1,000 people, resulting in $10,000 which will change the lives of 40 young children, creating 40 new smiling faces in this world.
