This week, Operation Smile, with the help from sponsor, XanGo (OpTree Profile), will provide much needed medical help to children in Guadalajara, Mexico. From September 25 to October 3 over 40 medical and non medical volunteer will travel to Mexico to help provide care for hundreds of children born with cleft lips and cleft palates.
With the help of XanGo, volunteers from the US, Canada, Italy and Mexico will change the lives of close to 100 children, who otherwise could not afford the surgeries required to fix their deformities.
Operation Smile works with local volunteers to provide not only surgery, but physical exams, speech therapy and nutritional plans.
XanGo formed a corporate alliance with Operation Smile this past year and has sponsored several other missions including two other trips to Mexico in May and September.
“As a global company committed to supporting the needs of children around the world, XanGo is honored to support Operation Smile Mexico, said Joe Morton, founder and board member for XanGo, LLC, “The work of Operation Smile and its volunteers will change lives and open up new avenues of opportunity that otherwise would not have been possible for the mission’s recipients.”
The company actively encourages its employees and distributors to take part in charitable endeavors such as Operation Smile Missions. XanGo feels that it is an important part of its corporate culture to give back to those who are less fortunate.
Operation Smile is dependent on the generosity of companies such as XanGo to help children and young adults around the world. Over 100 children are helped on each mission with each surgery taking as little as 45 min to change a young persons life forever.
