After seeing the children on screening day then during/after surgery was something that will stay in my heart forever and drives my passion to continue to raise awareness for children and adults who deserve to smile with confidence.
Volunteer Stories
Kanyarat Santiprasert
I do believe that each of us has a good heart inside but just only what, when or how we can express it out. To me, I realize that there are still many children or people having difficulties in even living.
Jintakan Sricholwattana
I joined this mission thinking I will help change children’s lives, but it also changed my life forever.
Siti Survo
As a mother myself seeing a young mother breaking down to her fears and submitting to tears of joy seeing her son transformed into this new look is simply overbearing even for me to handle yet a rewarding sight.
Apiphawadee Snidvongs
It was a very emotional experience to witness the miracles the staff performs and I will never forget seeing for the first new smile after surgery.
Phatthanaphol Engsusophon
This impressive meeting has reinforced my confidence of the positive impact to those children in need through volunteering in this medical charity network.

The real magic of Operation Smile’s work is witnessed here. A five-year-old patient with a double cleft can be running around within an hour or two of coming out of anesthesia. Days of trepidation and worry transform into a life-long smile in a matter of hours.
Anchalee Chaichanavijit
I believe that happiness from giving and compassion are engraved on one’s heart and are more valuable than superficial physical and mental happiness.
