“Nothing can adequately describe the look on the face of a child who has been operated on and has rediscovered their face, looking in the mirror after the procedure. I have seen Doctors cry with emotion. This is why I joined Emergenza Sorrisi’s campaign. Because restoring a child’s smile is the same as restoring the world’s smile and the future.”
