“Nothing you wear is more important than your smile.” – Connie Stevens

It’s 1 : 30 PM on day 2945 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray read a Bible verse and do some work

Today is World Smile Day and in this moment I think of my Smile Train family who work every day to correct clefts worldwide. A cleft lip is a physical split or separation of the two sides of the upper lip. Clefts are correctable in 45 minutes and surgery costs $250. If you wish to make a difference this World Smile Day donate to Smile Train https://www.smiletrain.org

It’s 12 : 23 PM on day 2880 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read a Bible verse, spend some time outside and do some work.

 

Yesterday I had the privilege of meeting and spending the day with Head of Smile Train Africa Dr. Esther Nyambura and  her colleague Yonna I was amazed that people would travel 2 hours by plane just to see me and to express their gratitude I live in hope that I was worth it and am so grateful to have met and spent time with them (i’ve seen a lot of things in my 8 years of working with all sorts of NPOs but never before have I heard of or seen people from said NPOs visiting supporters and bringing tokens of appreciation  it’s really the most awesome thing ever [the card really touched my heart it was signed by all the Smile Train staff based in New York]]. A HUGE THANKS to CEO of Smile Train Susannah Schaefer and her whole team for going above and beyond to make me feel appreciated I truly feel your genuine appreciation .
