Chance to Smile

[Chance to Smile]

Hello! Firstly, I wanted to introduce myself. My name is Masoud Saman and I am the Co-Founder and Chairman of Chance to Smile, a non-profit student-run organization dedicated to those born with a cleft. http://www.chancetosmile.com

Our objective are to:
1-Raise awareness about the facial developmental abnormalities of Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate.

2-Educate the public about these conditions in hopes to reduce the social stigma associated with them.

3-To develop multi-disciplinary volunteer-run medical mission programs to provide the needy with cleft repair surgeries free of charge.

4-Serve as an information portal of those interested in learning about these conditions.

5-Provide the latest news on advancements in research and technology regarding cleft lip and palate, otolaryngology, pediatrics, dentistry, and public health.

6-And to let those who suffer from these deforming abnormalities know that we care and we want to help them.

Our hope is that through educating the masses, children with these facial deformities face fewer social stigma.
