LCF congratulates Smile Train on having achieved 75,000 cleft surgeries in the Philippines, and for successfully organizing its Art Impact for Health initiative!
From the Smile Train Newsletter for September 2023:
Art has the power to heal and uplift the spirit. As it celebrates supporting more than 75,000 cleft surgeries in the Philippines, Smile Train – the world’s largest cleft-focused organization – is bringing the transformative power of art to the Philippine cleft community through Art Impact for Health.
Held in partnership with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Philippine Band of Mercy, the event featured the unveiling of a special mural created by Filipino artist Jesse Camacho, a live painting session by WHO representative and artist Isabelle Wachsmuth, and an art workshop where young patients shared their creativity in painting masks.
Attending the event were patients and families affected by cleft, and Smile Train partners and ambassadors, including runners-up of Miss Universe Philippines 2023 and Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach.
