Smile for ME is a children's surgical charity that is dedicated to helping improve the lives of children in the Philippines born with cleft lip & cleft palate deformities.The team started providing free surgery to children & adolescents in Cebu in 2001.The dedicated team of doctors, dentists, nurses & support staff began working together under the stewardship of Maureen Eddison. They have returned every year since then to provide vital surgery to around 80 deserving children every year. Smile for ME is a not for profit surgical charity run by the team of volunteers that undertake the surgical mission helping families who often travel considerable distances to access the medical missions. Cleft deformities are most common in the developing world, especially in Asian populations. In the Philippines 1-2 in every 1000 children are born with a cleft deformity. There are not enough Filipino surgeons to be able to meet the demands of a population that is riddled with cleft deformities, & therefore many families turn to foreign medical missions to fill the gaps in their health system Transform a child’s life by giving them access to safe free surgery & make them smile. Countless children in the Philippines are suffering from cleft deformities. Most can not eat or speak properly. Therefore they do not attend school, get an education & get a job.45 minutes can change a child’s life forever you can help make this happen & donate now
