“Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft — often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.”
-Operation Smile About Page
Since 1982, Operation Smile has provided over 200,00 free surgeries to children and young adults around the world born with cleft palates, cleft lips, and other facial deformities.
In as little as 45 minutes, a child’s life is changed forever by medical professionals and volunteers from all over.
I have always loved the work the Operation Smile does and hope to someday be able to work with them more one on one.
In the meantime though, there are ways to help with their mission with donations and also by how you get your college textbooks.
CampusBookRentals.com has teamed up with Operation Smile to help give these children a chance to have a happier and healthier life.
CampusBookRentals.com donates a portion of their proceeds to Operation Smile with every book rented!
They have committed to help provide at least 1,000 surgeries to children all over the world.
I know as summer approaches people are not thinking as much about textbooks and all that fun stuff.
But as you get ready for next semester, not only would you be able to save money by renting your textbooks from CampusBookRentals.com but you could also be helping to change a child’s life forever!
And that’s a pretty unbeatable deal right??
