Smile Train has invited yoga teachers around the world to bring more smiles onto the faces of children burdened with cleft lip and palate by hosting yoga classes as fundraisers for Smile Train. Gloria has been teaching yoga for 10 years and during the last 7 of those years a portion of the proceeds have gone to Smile Train, so of course when she was invited to participate in this global challenge, the choice was obvious.
On Saturday August 26, Gloria hosted Yoga for Smiles at Southern Pines Yoga, Co. Over $500.00 was raised bringing her total to $6,985.00. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the Yoga for Smiles event went to Smile Train.
The mission of Smile Train is focused on solving a single problem, cleft lip and palate. Cleft palate is a devastating affliction when not repaired. Clefts are a major problem in developing countries where there are millions of children who are suffering with unrepaired clefts. Smile Train can perform repair surgery for as little as $250.00. Gloria thanks all those who helped make this a success.
