A Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, high school student, Charlotte de Vries has a passion for giving back to her community through activities such as clothing drives and working for food pantries. A field hockey coach, Charlotte de Vries donates a significant amount of money earned by giving lessons to nonprofit organizations such as Operation Smile.
Operation Smile assists children with cleft palates or cleft lips in overcoming these treatable conditions. Ongoing medical efforts include a recent local mission in Dnoun Lahder, Morocco, part of an effort encompassing three dozen cities across the country over the past two decades.
With a year-round care center based in Casablanca, Operation Smile’s Moroccan volunteer network includes 250 physicians and non-medical staff members. No-cost reconstructive surgery has been provided to 7,500 patients across the country, along with dental care focused on those with facial deformities.
The organization offers similar programs in countries from Ghana to the Dominican Public.
