I figured since we're all friends here, you might like a backstage peek at some of the patients and the wonderful people that do this volunteer work. A child in need ---------------------------------------------A worried mother with her fixed up, gooder than new, baby. Ah, the beauty and the beast. These Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, and certainly the patients and their families, thank you for your support.

Oh bless them. This is a worthy cause and I'm glad it's getting some attention.
Thanks Bruce.

Those doctors and volunteers must have a lot of money to do what they're doing. We should raise taxes on rich people like them!

No, they only need a couple weeks off from work. The organization pays the expenses.

Regardless, I applaud any and all of them that do this type of work/volunteering. Many of them go to very distant places and are at personal risk while doing so.

My feelings exactly, Classic. I'm sure there are people in other professions who use their wealth for good, and who don't publicize it. Our employees in Washington think they should raise their taxes, because the government can do a better job. Apart from waging war, I can't think of a thing that private enterprise can't do better than government.

That's quite a talent - operate on just one small face, but put a smile on faces around the world. Good job, people!

WHAT? Aren't the Doctors volunteers too? Why must they have a lot of money? And why should they do it quietly? the more people who know about it, the more money will be donated, the more kids will be helped.... I think it's a great program, particularly as it focuses on a problem that is often not literally life-threatening, but pretty much ensures the kids will have no chance to escape their poverty unless the freak-show is hiring. And it trains local physicians to take over when they leave. Excellent.

Yes, everyone is volunteering their time and expertise. No one is being compensated for time off from work. I don't know where in hell Classic got that from. The equipment and air travel is provided by Operation Smile.
