Smile Foundation: Restoring the smiles of children with facial abnormalities

In July 2023, Good Morning Angels assisted the Smile Foundation in restoring the smiles of 30 children with facial abnormalities. 

It was fitting to partner with Smile to celebrate Mandela Day, as the foundation was created in response to a call from Madiba himself.

The Smile Foundation identifies children in need of surgery, as well as the doctors, hospitals, and funds required to perform this life-changing work. 

The results are nothing short of remarkable, giving children and their families the chance at a happy, normal life. Over the past 25 years, the Smile Foundation has done this for 5,000 children and their families.

In this episode of Good Morning Angels: The Legacy, Tarri Parfitt, CEO of the Smile Foundation, recalls how the Angels came together in a single morning to change the lives of 82 children for good, for a lifetime.
