The Smile Train
Part of the reason I started A Simpler Time was because I remember a happy "Norman Rockwell" childhood in small town America. Much of our product replicates children's toys or shows happy children. Because of that, we have always helped local children's charities with donations. So, when I saw an ad for The Smile
Train and thought of all the Third World children who will not have similar childhoods merely because they were born with a cleft palate, I thought, "We've found our perfect charity."
The Smile Train trains doctors in Third World countries to perform cleft surgery on children and also pays for the operations. Due to corporate funding of overhead, every dollar donated goes to funding an operation. For only $250, a child gets a new life! The New York Times calls it "...one of the most productive charities...dollar for deed...in the world."
We have decided to donate $1 for every sale made at all of our stores and on our website to The Smile Train. While we're not a large company, we feel that we can change the life of at least one child a week. If you would prefer to donate directly, visit The Smile Train at www.smiletrain.org.
-Jeff King, President, A Simpler Time, Inc.
