Safia Skin Care Supports The Children Of Operation Smile

Online, March 3, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Safia Skin Care is proud to announce its partnership with Operation Smile through a commitment to raise funds to cover the cost of reconstructive surgeries to repair cleft lip, cleft palate and other facial deformities for children around the globe.

More than 200,000 children are born with a severe cleft condition each year - often unable to eat, speak, socialize or smile. In some places these children are shunned and rejected. And in too many cases, their parents can't afford to give them the surgeries they need to live a normal life.

The partnership with Operation Smile furthers Safia's core philosophy of giving back to those who need it the most. "We feel a deep responsibility to help those less fortunate than us and Operation Smile's mission is one that makes a tremendous difference to thousands of children's lives throughout the world. It is an honor to be to support Operations Smile's effort addressing such severe facial deformities is life changing for thousands of children. The surgeries not only give the gift of being able to smile, but also in many cases, gives the children the ability to speak and eat which makes these surgeries life saving. I am humbled to be able to support an organization that makes such a tremendous difference to so many children's lives." said Sam Picarello, founder and president of Safia Skin Care.

Safia is raising funds by donating a portion of every sale made through Safia Skin Care's website (www.safiaskincare.com)
