I have been involved with Operation Smile for 6 years now. Life can get pretty busy, but I stay involved because this is one of the most worthwhile organizations I have ever been a part of.
Operation Smile is a non-profit organization that provides surgeries in third world countries for children with cleft lips and cleft palettes. The need for this organization is immense, with hundreds of thousands of children born every year with these deformities. These children not only have difficulty with eating and speaking because of their deformity, they are often shunned by their community and treated as a curse to the family. They do not attend school and in some countries are required to wear a paper bag over their head in public.
They quite literally have no hope for their future.
There is a strong group of students in Utah that have banded together to help make a difference and change the lives of these children. Every year, the student clubs dedicate hundreds of hours to fundraising and raising awareness for Operation Smile, as well as organizing other service projects. Each year is culminated with our “Be Someone” event and challenge. We issue the challenge to every student in Utah to take responsibility for one child’s life and raise the $240 that is necessary for one surgery. In the past 4 years, Utah students have raised almost half a million dollars for Operation Smile.
Please help me to "Be Someone" and raise money to LITERALLY CHANGE A LIFE FOREVER!! Any donation will help, even if it is just a dollar. Dollars add up quickly when everyone jumps on board! Think of the last thing you spent $5 on... is that something you can give up once to help a child have a future?
These are children that cannot help themselves. They need US in order to have any chance at life. Think of your own child or grandchild or niece or nephew. How much would you be willing to do to prevent them from suffering?
