The other night we were getting ready to head out the door to go for a walk. It started to get a little cloudy and dark so I ran back in to check the weather channel. When I turned on the tv, I came across a show about cleft lip/palate surgeries. I watched it for a few minutes, and when I noticed a small Asian boy with a cleft lip I was hooked. It is a program called Operation Smile. They are an organization that travels around the world helping children with this need free of charge. The episode I caught was actaully filmed in Vietnam...how crazy was that? As I sat and watched the show I cried, smiled, and became a little bit more at peace knowing that someday I may have a child with this need.
When I got to work this morning I looked up the website to see how we could sponser a child. The first thing I noticed was the section headed "What We Do" and under that heading it talked about their next mission. On July 20-24, 2009 the Operation Smile team will be in Hanoi, Vietnam performing these surgeries. By donating $240 you can help provide a child with a surgery to change their life forever. Do you have a little extra money to spare?
