Smiles


We attended a black-tie dinner tonight in support of Operation Smile. Bob and Rosemarie invited us to the Hummer table. (Bob is the product manager for Hummer in South Africa). Operation Smile is an international initiative that works toward helping kids with cleft lips. It struck me how terrible a cleft lip can be for a little child and how it impacts their whole life in terms of self image and inter-personal relationships.... yet we have the means to fix it in 45 minutes.
