Ruel Foundation Give A Smile’s mission is to bring healing, hope and a future to disadvantaged and at-risk children of the Philippines. We do this by seeking children with treatable, physical deformities offering them free surgeries. With RF’s help, the children are taken from lives of poverty and rejection and transformed into valued, loved, and accepted members of society. Ruel Foundation also rescues children in a crisis situation, we have 3 child caring centers in the Philippines: Calapan which is the main base, Romblon and Sorsogon. The children are giving loving care, education and medical assistance while preparing them for international adoption.

Smiles for everyone!  22 November 2014

Posted by: Ruel Foundation - closed

In April this year we were able to complete surgery for 64 children waiting for cleft lip or palate repair. I donft think most of us can really appreciate how much this surgery means to these children and their families. From the shame of their deformity and always being different, to wholeness and acceptance. Thanks to our volunteerfs hard work and organisation we can now confidently trust local surgeons and we no longer have to wait for teams of surgeons to come over from other countries. We owe a HUGE thank you to you all, our supporters who donate funds to enable us to change the lives of so many.
