The People Behind The Smile Train.
|
Margaret Mead once said, “Never doubt that the work of a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the only thing that ever has.” We have certainly taken her words to heart. Our idea for The Smile Train was conceived by a small group of folks. Our organization is governed by a small board of directors. And our staff, that oversees 100,000+ surgeries a year, hundreds of partners and programs, in 77 of the world’s poorest countries consists of just 42 people. Other charities that help similar numbers of children have hundreds of employees. Yes, we are small and proud of it. We make decisions, develop programs and move much faster than larger charities. We’re more responsive to our donors and much more in touch with our partners. And the millions of dollars that we save in salaries, offices, dental plans and furniture, etc. means thousands of extra smiles every year. Margaret would be proud. |
