Guest Speaker - Jill Moore

Jill is a Rotarian with Tsawwassen and was recently in Harbin, China giving back 108 smiles! She was part of a team of doctors and nurses with Alliance For Smiles. This organization was founded by 5 Rotarians from San Fransisco who were formerly with Rotoplast. They did cleft lip and palate surgeries as well as education on taking care of your teeth. Since her return she has collected 2000 toothbrushes to bring on her next trip! In China some babies are abandoned because of this type of deformity. They can't operate on all candidates as some have too low a birthweight and have malnutrition or sickness. Jill would educate the mothers on proper feeding methods with the hope they could perform the operation the following year. Two weeks of long hours on this trip gave 108 babies and children new smiles!
