[Propertalk] Operation Smile

[Joe Parrish]

Dr. William Magee Jr., a plastic surgeon in Norfolk, Va. In 1981 Dr. Magee traveled to the Philippines to operate on children with cleft lips and other facial deformities. Unfortunately there were so many children with this deformity, a deformity that can render it impossible for them to speak or eat, that hundreds had to be turned away. 
This caused Dr. Magee and his wife to found an organization called Operation Smile. Operation Smile sends volunteer doctors to perform reconstructive facial surgery for children worldwide. “It wasn’t a strategic plan,” said Magee. “It was just a matter of emotion and passion to make sure children didn’t have to live this way.” 
The group, which already has treated 50,000 children worldwide, also trains doctors in other nations to perform the procedure. Magee hopes to use satellite technology in the future, so he can teach a greater number of medical professionals the necessary techniques. (4)
