Alliance for Smiles
Transforming the Lives of Children Often Left to Die—One Woman's Fight to Overcome the Odds
Alliance for Smiles, a nonprofit Anita Stangl helped create and guide until 2016, sends medical teams to underserved countries and provides unique services to children who are in need of cleft lip and palate repair. The organization is expanding its work to Morocco and Egypt. Stangl has been an active Rotarian since 1987 and has spoken worldwide about volunteer programs that emphasize cleft lip and palate reconstructive surgery. She has chaired many committees that focus on community, youth and international service and that promote world peace. She has also participated in many international medical missions. Come hear a discussion about Alliance for Smiles and their work around the world.
