Operation smile, they love to see joy in children faces. Healing children’s smiles. Making the world a better place. At Operation Smile, we measure ourselves by the joy we see on children’s faces. We’re more than a charity. More than an NGO. We’re a mobilized force of medical professionals and caring hearts who provide safe, effective reconstructive surgery for children born with facial deformities such as cleft lip and cleft palate. More than 200,000 children are born with a severe cleft condition each year — 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. That’s where we come in. Since 1982, Operation Smile — through the help of dedicated medical volunteers — has provided free surgeries to children in more than 50 countries, healing their smiles and bringing hope for a better future. Thanks to the generosity and spirit of volunteerism shown by our supporters, we heal thousands of children per year and, today, more than 135,000 girls and boys have a new chance at a new life because of our work. With your help, how many lives can we change tomorrow?

How would you like to be able to make a difference in ending world hunger, while improving your child’s vocabulary at the same time? The site is sponsored by Harvard University and the United Nations World Food Program, and all of the money earned from the site’s sponsors goes directly to the World Food Program. Pretty cool, eh? All is well! Http://www.freerice.com/ is a cool web site that does just that. It’s a simple vocabulary question and answer game (that’s addictive, too). For every answer you get right, the site donates 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program. The vocabulary game is run by a computer program that automatically adjusts to your skill level.
