Documentary: Heroes Project: A second chance for orphaned children: Smile Train International Heroes Project

Smile Train International Heroes Project
SMILE TRAIN HEROES PROJECT:
In China's remote regions, doctors and a network of local aid teams work to eliminate cleft palette and other deformities for children and adults.
Children born with cleft abnormalities are often abandoned at birth. They are given a second chance at a normal life by surgeons trained by Smile Train throughout the world.
