Have you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile? We hope we can help you understand how we are trying to help children all over the world. 

Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife in 

1982. Together with some volunteers they went to Philippines (菲律宾) to help children who had holes in their lips (嘴唇) or inside their mouths. It was very difficult for them to eat and drink. These volunteers worked very hard. But they worried that they could not carry on with the work because they didn't have enough money. Then they decided to start a charity so that they could help these children in need. They called it Operation Smile.

Operation Smile works in more than twenty developing countries (发展中国家) and has cured over 1, 0000 children who have problems with their mouths. Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started a special event called The World Journey of Hope. 5000 children in 18 countries were cured during the event. 

So show your kindness to the children in need now. You can send your money to Operation Smile at local banks. Many thanks from the children who can smile now will come to you.
