We also spoke to Moira Gerszt - Chief Operating Officer of the Smile Foundation. The Smile Foundation is a South African NGO that assists children with any type of facial abnormality, to receive free corrective Plastic and Reconstructive surgery within South Africa. This week is Smile Week and the Smile Foundation has partnered with Adcock Ingram to help underprivileged children with facial conditions at the Red Cross War Memorial Children’s Hospital . Moira explained more about the organization and how they go about helping people get reconstructive surgery to ‘fix’ their condition. For more information go to www.smilefoundationsa.co.za or contact 0861 A Smile (276453). Alternatively the SMS donation line SMS “Smile” to 38413 to donate R10. Help put a smile on a child’s face today!
