The Smile Train


This boy was helped! He lives in a poor region of eastern asia and needed a life altering operation. He got it thanks to The Smile Train.

The Smile Train is dedicated exclusively to helping millions of children with cleft lip and palat deformities. Since 1999 they have developed over 250 cleft treatment programs in 61 of the poorest contries in the world. These programs have enabled the Smile Train to provide free cleft surgery for more than 176,000 children.
As you can see the child above was overwhelmingly in need of treatment. Until The Smile Train came along he had no hope of getting the condition corrected due to the high cost of treatment and the fact that he was from a very poor environment . He was abandoned by his parents and left to fend for himself. He would have lived a life of disgrace.

The Smile Train located him and arrangements were made for treatment resulting in the hansome boy you see below.













The Buckeye Beemers have been looking for a charity in which to invest for a number of years. The Smile Train seems to be the answer.
Please think about this and contact the club president or any board officer (by email) with your recommendation as to the club's making a contribution.
