Operation Smile Mission to China

wec2.jpg (17236 bytes)The Chamber Women Executives Club (WEC) members, together with international medical professionals from Operation Smile, visited Zhongshan, China, on November 28, to see how they could provide assistance to children with facial deformities.

Since Operation Smile's first mission to China in 1991, more than 4,500 children and wec3.jpg (16718 bytes)young adults in the country have undergone free surgery to correct their deformities, and 7,610 patients have received free medical evaluations.

The international team of volunteers, consisting of plastic surgeons, anaesthesiologists, nurses, paediatricians, dentists and speech pathologists, offer hope of a normal life for children who suffer from cleft lips, cleft palates and other facial
deformities. wec4.jpg (15054 bytes)

Also joining the group were Hong Kong celebrities Alice Chiu and Rosamund Kwan, who were adding their support to Operation Smile to raise awareness of the plight of these children and their families.

The trip was also supported by WEC's Charity Committee, which strives to stimulate women's interests in worthwhile causes. wec5.jpg (16582 bytes)

To raise funding for Operation Smile, Chamber WEC will host a Charity Ball in May 2003, and welcomes all WEC members and their friends to join the memorable event.
