Abstract

Thousand Smiles is a multidisciplinary team that has been providing cleft palate and related care in Ensenada, Mexico, for twenty-one years. This is the story of how the program began with the personal involvement of a few individuals and support from Rotary International, the structure of the care teams, and the lessons learned in conducting an international mission program. It is also the story of lives changed-patients and care givers alike.
