Since then it has blossomed into a partnership with Latter Day Saint women from the Nashville Tennessee Stake, the New Neighbors League of Nashville, and friends and neighbors of all of these service-minded organizations. This year we even had a pre-dental student volunteer who read about the event on the Brentwood Homepage.
Today we were able to accomplish a lot with all these women working together. We stuffed and stitched up 40 pre-sewn smile dolls.*
This is how Operation Smile uses the dolls. The patients draw pictures of themselves on the blank dolls with their new smiles. Doesn't this just make YOU smile?! Go here to make a personal donation to bless a child with a happier smile.
We made 58 gowns. Think of all the loving hands who have touched these little gowns. We hope the children who wear them will feel this love.
We made 45 pairs of armbands - 90 pieces. They are used as splints to keep the children from touching their wounds after their surgeries.
We made 15 no-sew blankets. Again, think of all the loving hands that have touched these blankets.
We could not have pulled this off without all the wonderful volunteers who watched the children of some of these helpers. Thank you so much!
Very soon we will post the final stats for this event. There are still a few people working on finishing up a few things.
