Amy: Doctor's Gift

The Interplast office has relayed to me some good news. “Smile,” a feature-length Hollywood movie about a volunteer medical group that does reconstructive surgery in China, will be released in Los Angeles and San Francisco this Friday, April 8! While I have not seen “Smile” yet, I understand that it will tell the story of how reconstructive surgery can help restore the lives of children in developing countries. It will feature a Chinese girl with a cleft lip who receives free surgery from a fictional humanitarian organization called “Doctor’s Gift.” What a coincidence that “Smile” talks about a charity helping Chinese children while Interplast is currently in China, helping children just like those in the movie. “Smile” should bring needed attention to reconstructive surgery and cleft lips and palates, especially in developing countries like China. In the “Smile” movie, “Doctor’s Gift” inspires a young Californian girl to help others around the world. I hope that “Smile” inspires more people to become aware of Interplast and the life-changing reconstructive plastic surgery that we perform in real life.

The sum of behaviour is to retain a man’s own dignity, without intruding upon the liberty of others.

I have the 'Smile' DVD, I just purchased it; and I have also watched it. I also have a cleft palate, and I was very, very touched by this movie; I cried. I think it is truly wonderful what you are doing for others, and it is such a blessing to be able to help others. I don't know how much involvment I can personally offer, but please send me information and I will try my very best.

I really liked the movie I was touched by it because I too was born with a cleft lip and palate. I would really like information on how I could volunteer in this program.
