What is the price of a smile? You are playing with a small child, you make a silly face or tell a daft joke and the kid rolls around laughing. All is good. Your joy extends to the child whose self confidence grows. How much would you pay for this moment???? Take the same situation where the child has a cleft lip. He cannot smile so we automatically “take pity” on him. No self confidence is transferred from us and we all know his life is not going to be the same as a “normal” kid. This can be fixed.

I intend to make a difference and help. On Nov 22 2008, I am taking part in a 10k Smile Train run in Dubai. I need you to sponsor me – how much you ask yourself?  It is up to you to decide, but it should be no less than the price of a smile.

The Smile Train

The Smile Train, the world’s largest cleft charity, is dedicated to helping the millions of children in the world who suffer from cleft lip and palate through free surgery for children, free training for doctors and research to find a cure. The free surgery and related treatment that The Smile Train sponsors are performed by local medical teams in local hospitals in developing countries. This “teach a man to fish” strategy builds in-country capacity while helping very poor but very proud communities become self-sufficient one smile at a time. Please be assured that any transaction fee will be paid for through our start-up grant from our founding supporters, which pays for all administration costs and overheads.
