Leah found an organization a while ago called Operation Smile that we thought was awesome. They are headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and provide free, much needed surgery to children born with cleft lip and other mouth deformities.

A surgery can be sponsored for $240 to help these children do something they never could before…smile. As I play with my kids I am reminded of what a precious gift that is which we take for granted (among many other things).

This charity has helped over 98,000 kids in America and twenty-four other countries around the world. An amazing 86% of all profits go directly to helping the children. The volunteer medical professionals generously give their skill, time, and love.

An organization of professional photographers that I belong to called the Digital Wedding Forum also supports Operation Smile as it is such a worthy cause.

Please check them out and consider donating to this wonderful group!
