Operation Smile

Changing Lives One Smile at a Time

Imagine feeling uncomfortable about smiling or even talking because of a facial deformity. Now imagine that the physical challenges of your deformity are minor compared with the emotional challenges, as others make fun of or avoid you because of your strange appearance. Lastly, imagine that all your problems could be fixed by one simple operation that could transform not only your face, but your whole life; but your family is too poor to pay for this operation... This is where Operation Smile comes in. Founded in 1982 by plastic surgeon William Magee and his wife Kathleen, Operation Smile is a charity that sends teams of medical volunteers to developing nations to treat children with facial deformities. The idea for Operation Smile came to William and Kathleen when they were in the Philippines with a group of doctors to operate on some children with disfigured faces. When they arrived, they came upon hundreds of children with facial deformities ― far too many than they could help on one trip. William and Kathleen knew that they could not just forget about these children. So, when they got back to the USA, they started Operation Smile. Their mission? To ensure every child in the world is given a chance to smile. To date, Operation Smile has repaired the faces of more than 120,000 children worldwide. The Magee's have faced many challenges along the way. Principal among these is raising the money to keep their volunteer work going. But the thousands of happy faces have been a reward that makes the doctors' hard efforts all the more worthwhile.
