Pinki & The Smile Train at the Oscars

I am so excited to tell you that a beautiful little girl named Pinki will be going to the Oscars to represent The Smile Train.

A few months ago I received a preview copy of the "Smile Pinki" DVD from a friend at The Smile Train and when I saw this documentary about The Smile Train it brought me to tears. You can watch a 3 minute trailer of Smile Pinki right now at our web site www.smiletrain.org and you can also register to find out where you can view the movie or get a copy of it.

This beautiful 6-year-old (same as as my daughter Polly) little girl lives in one of the poorest parts of our world. Her family was hesitant to go see The Smile Train because it would mean not working and it would cost the money family in food to eat on the way. They got it worked out and little Pinki (barefoot) and her father began their journey on foot to find The Smile Train.

Well, this little girl is 8 now and in New York on her way to The Oscars to hopefully accept an award for The Smile Train.

Have you been feeling like the economy is getting you down, you don't have an extra penny to spare, maybe you can't take that trip you had planned for this year. Remember how blessed we are that we even have those options and that yes - health is a gift!

Donate to The Smile Train at www.milesintosmiles.com and give a child a second chance at life. I've personally commited to donating $25 a month. It doesn't seem like much but over the course of a year it adds up to $300. Donate what you can!
