History
The creation of the non-profit organization was inspired by a trip to a remote region near Santa Marta, Columbia in May of 2009.
On the trip, a team of doctors operated on over 50 patients to fix cleft deformities and cared for several hundred patients needing dental care.
The 2009 mission delivered over $300,000 worth of medical & dental care to a vastly under-served region.
The team of medical professionals made an enormous impact.
Cleft Deformities

Learning & Development
The social impact of these defects can be catastrophic.
If not treated in a timely manner, these abnormalities may contribute to speech and learning problems.
