Our team in Biñan, Philippines are changing lives one smile at a time!

Meet Laiño, age 6. “We took Laiño out of school because he was being bullied,” his mom told us. “He has very bad trauma now from the kids at school teasing him. This (surgery) will change his life and ours forever.”

Thoughts from our volunteers:

"I like seeing the patients that come back for their second surgeries and we get to see how their lives have already changed for the better," says Hiroko. "Knowing that we can help them again complete their forever journeys."

"I love getting to know the families and the kids," said Gale. "Being with the children that are scared to death and making them and their families feel comfortable and safe. I love going in the day after surgery the most, cleaning the kids’ surgical areas, and seeing that transformation. Seeing them see themselves is why I will forever serve."
