Anyone ever hear of the charity, Smile Train???

[BERIGAN]

I saw a banner ad on Drudge, saying how you could change this child's life....I clicked on it, and up came this charity....gee, never heard of it before....which makes me instantly suspicious. They say every dollar goes to help children...which of course makes me more suspicous. How about web costs?? the ad seen by millions on Drudge???

So I dug around a little on the web, and it seems they really do know what they are doing, and are doing great work! Check out this story on them from 2006....

my impression is that are definitely doing some great work and they have been on my donation list for the last few years.
