Bosque School Operation Smile Student Program
What is Operation Smile?
Throughout the world, Operation Smile volunteers repair childhood facial
deformities while building public and private partnerships that advocate for
sustainable healthcare systems for children and families. Together, we create
smiles, change lives, heal humanity. The program coordinates more than 30
Medical Mission sites in 25 countries annually. Since 1982, Operation Smile's
volunteers have provided free reconstructive surgery to more than 100,000
children and young adults and thousands of healthcare professionals have been
trained globally.
What is the purpose of Operation Smile Student Program?
Operation Smile has depended upon students around the world, contributing even
for just a brief moment, their youthful energy and imagination to making a
child smile. More than 450 Operation Smile Student Associations around the
globe build awareness, raise funds and educate students about the values of
commitment, leadership and volunteerism. Operation Smile takes two volunteer
student educators and a student sponsor on every international medical
mission. Students learn how they can impact the future when they help children
in need.
What is the Bosque School Operation Smile Student Program?
One of the most important values at Bosque School is the belief of service to
others. Operation Smile Student Program is a new branch of the community
service curriculum which was established from the very beginning of the school
creation. Ninth, tenth and eleventh graders have joined thousands of students
from around the world to create awareness, become leaders, encourage
volunteerism and raise funds for children in need. Bosque students also plan
to participate in the international medical missions once they have
demonstrated their dedication to Operation Smile.
How to help?
For $240 or just $20 a month, you can change a child's life by giving the gift
of a surgery that takes as little as 45 minutes. Many children are turned
away because of a lack of funds. You can change that! Your donation will also
support the student�s participation in required international conferences,
mission training workshops and medical missions. Please help us. Contact us at:
