Smile Train Global Ambassador Catriona Gray conducts patient home visits in Colombia with Smile Train partner, Factory of Smiles


The crowned Miss Universe Colombia will become a local ambassador for the organization’s charity partner, Smile Train. As a part of this charitable partnership, the reigning title holder will work closely with Smile Train to help raise awareness for children with clefts locally and around the world.

 

While visiting Barranquilla, Catriona plans to safely visit Smile Train’s local partners and meet some of the beneficiaries supported by the charity. As a Global Ambassador, Catriona has been focused on using her platform to raise awareness for children with clefts. In fact, she has previously visited Smile Train’s programs in the Philippines and in Brazil to see firsthand all of the incredible work done by the organization locally. In addition, she has attended several virtual speech sessions with cleft patients, launched a Public Service Announcement (PSA) for finding patients and is currently the face of the beepTM card awareness campaign.


Globally, 540 babies are born with a cleft every day. Smile Train is committed to providing access to proper cleft care treatment and financial assistance even during the pandemic. In addition to life-changing surgery, Smile Train’s local medical partners provide essential care, such as speech therapy, emotional support, nutrition services, and orthodontic care, to ensure that children have the opportunity to lead full and productive lives.


Smile Train, with the support of its donors and partners around the world, has supported safe and quality cleft care for more than 1.5 million children in need for the past 21 years. In the Philippines, Smile Train has supported cleft surgeries for more than 60,000 children since 2001.

The Erceflora Probi Bears!

Kulayot's First Impression of the Erceflora ProbiBears I always want to bear-hug my growing kids, and by bear-hug, I mean protect them 24/7 a day, 365 days a year; but let's face it, as they grow, they want independence and freedom, and we don't want to be the NO parent.  Did you know? It's been estimated that there's about 400 NO's a child can hear in one day - not including the words STOP and WAIT. Since, it's impossible to keep them in one safe place, which is not healthy by the way, let's just make sure that we bear-hug them by giving them the protection from the inside! Complete Unboxing Video here:  https://www.facebook.com/GerilenCYW/videos/159918064962185/   One way to do it is to give our kids the E RCEFLORA ProbiBears!

Fresh Ka Pa Ba? Mag-#FruitasShakeMuna!

I don't know about you, but when it's too hot, I thirst for something cool and refreshing! Sometimes, I crave for something that isn't healthy - ice cold cola for one, or artificial milk-tea. Familiar, right But since I'm trying to live a healthier lifestyle, I stay away from soft drinks and minimize my milktea consumption by having other alternative refreshing drinks! At home, we try to blend fresh watermelon with apples and lemons for one, or I just drink plain water if I knew I had enough sugar for the day already. But when you're outside, it's a different story. Specially if you are on a road trip, and needed the extra booze from the sweets. Well, if we all want to feel good and look like a million buck without breaking the bank and harming your body, then let's shake it like Sarah G.! Yes! Feel and look like the pop star this summer, by first, shaking off all your stresses and beating the summer heat by dancing them away with Fruitas’ sha...
