In Mazatlan, I was truly humbled and experienced first hand the many ways that Smile Train is improving lives around the world. I saw people of all ages undergoing life-changing surgery. I saw local doctors being trained. It was incredible to know that this blessing would not be a one time occurrence, but a persisting force of undeniable good."

"Smiles are contagious. When I see a child smile, it warms my heart. It breaks my heart to know that children born with a cleft in developing countries are thought to be cursed. We can change that.
