operation smile

Operation Smile is a mission program that helps children that have cleft palate. Bill and Pam Carpenter, members of our church, are wonderful people who have been working with this program in Ascension, Paraguay.

Operation Smile has volunteer doctors and uses borrowed operating rooms. This keeps the cost to change a child's world very reasonable, yet still out of reach for families that live in the third world.

What a gift to look in the mirror after surgery and for the first time, see a normal face. Something that most of us take for granted.
