Hey Canada, Operation Smile needs you to join the SMILE movement!
"While the world flattens the COVID-19 Curve, there's a
longer line-up for kids born with cleft conditions growing every day".
Join the coast-to-coast SMILE movement to see which Province SMILES MOST
TORONTO, June 1, 2020 /CNW/ - [CANADA WIDE - June 1 - 20, 2020] Every 3 minutes, a child is born with a cleft lip, cleft palate or both. This statistic doesn't change – even during a pandemic.
While COVID-19 has temporarily halted our international medical missions, 300 more children per day are born with cleft conditions in low-and middle-income countries. For now, they are added to our wait lists until our committed team of medical volunteers can start what they love doing most – delivering SMILES.
As the global medical community focuses on the pandemic, we have a 3-phased Emergency Response Action Plan to help protect local volunteers and frontline workers against COVID-19. This plan included the donation of Personal Protective Supplies Operation Smile had warehoused in more than 60 low- and middle-income countries to local hospitals.
Every Summer Solstice, we celebrate a year of raising smiles, and this June 20th – more than ever – we all need a reason to smile.
So Canada – WHO SMILES MOST? Let's share smiles and raise funds to ensure our promise continues. That promise is to never leave a child behind so they get their new smile and the complete care they all deserve.
Visit www.operationsmile.ca today and learn how easy it is for you and your network to support the SMILE movement. Text SMILE to 45678 to make a $10 donation or call 1-844-514-8249. Your support will literally bring a lifetime of smiles to a waiting child.
