It has been said: "You cannot change the entire world, but you can change the entire world for one."  For the love of orphans in need of families, and children with cleft-palette challenges, efforts are being made by many who seek to relieve the suffering of these children. No child should hide a smile.

Above actual printing costs of your images, and studio photographic equipment purchase, every dollar of your payment for photographic services is channeled as follows: the years of 2009-2010: 33% of your  gift will purchase diapers, formula, and clothing  for the orphanage in Far East Russia, (Vlotivostok)  where the  child  photographed above was adopted in 2004. 33%  will assist directly with adoption expenses of two orphans: an infant girl from China, and  a six  year old child from Romania.   The remaining 33%  is gifted to smile train, a world-wide benevolent organization of medical professionals donating their time and resources to aid those in need. One, among innumerable services provided, is corrective cleft palette surgery, at the cost of $250  per child.  When doctors donate a corrective cleft palette surgery, the whole world is changed for that child.
