I have been an active supporter but I'am reconsidering! the CEO's excessive salary is way out of line! I will look else where to give it is such a shame I liked the Charity as always some people get greedy and ruin it!

Is smile train aware that someone is calling and not saying anything then hanging up? i am getting these calls once a week and if they dont stop i am going to the better business . the reason i know it s mile train is because i tried calling the numbers back. there is no reason to do this except to give the smile train a bad name. the numbers are 1-866-223-6830 and 1-866-223-7166.

When seeing the solicitation in Boating Magazine I wanted to contribute. I generally give between $100 to $2500 and I contributed to over 30 different orgs last year. I now only give to those that show a very high % to the cause through the internet vrs fund raising and overhead cost. Smile train clearly does not qualify as a honest organization. If they got rid of those NYC apts and high saleries, I would give a minimum of $2500.

Just got done sitting in the hospital here in Brazil with a teenage girl who lives at an orphanage that I volunteer with. She had her cleft palate repaired this weekend, no cost to the non-profit orphanage and was given good care by the smile train staff. Her life will never be the same thanks to operation smile! i am pleased to see their positive impact, way to go!

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
caring, effective, life changing for this young girl-
The kinds of staff and volunteers that I met were...
caring, friendly, giving of their professional time
If this organization had 10 million bucks, it could...
expand into preventative programs also
Ways to make it better...
the hospital had more resources, ie gloves,etc
In my opinion, the biggest challenges facing this organization are...
need more money, could partner with add'l org. for research and then prevention/education focus
One thing I'd also say is that...
I am impressed, hope more dedicated, docs and nurses sign up for this chance to affect little lives in a big way for little money
