Love Without Boundaries is a worldwide group of volunteers who have realized that people with a pure love for helping children can truly make a difference. They all donate their time and resources in an attempt to brighten the lives of orphaned children in China. They have programs for education, nutrition, and surgical care, including the one that touches us-cleft surgeries.

This one isn't just for orphans, but cleft babies (especially one) now hold a special place in our hearts.
Unlike many charities that do many different things, The Smile Train is focused on solving a single problem: cleft lip and palate.
Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Most cannot eat or speak properly. They aren't allowed to attend school or hold a job. They face very difficult lives filled with shame and isolation, pain and heartache.
The good news is every single child with a cleft can be helped with surgery that costs as little as $250 and takes as little as 45 minutes.
