I just came across this on the TV...$240 per operation to change a child's life forever...Maybe its a little early for new years resolutions, but I've decided that I can change a couple of lives in 2012...the doctors donate their time ....and without their help...these kids have almost no chance for this needed change... sometimes these kids die because they can't eat or suffer taunts and alienation because of their appearance... ...Steffan

Now there's something to smile about! Thanks for sharing that, Steffan. I'm going to try to send some financial support their way as well.

Good on you Dread...what a horrific life these kids have, and its so easy to change if we provide the support needed, really $240 to give each of these kids a quality life back...it'll still be tough with the poverty aspect but really...now they might have a better chance..family job all those things most of us can aspire to at least....and the Drs are training the local doctors to do the surgery too....wonderful way of giving back....
