Goldwagen puts smiles on children’s faces
Replacement parts suppliers, Goldwagen,
made a generous R45 000 donation to the
Smile Foundation at the Charlotte Maxeke
Academic Hospital in Johannesburg on
10 December 2014.
Representatives from Goldwagen, one
of whom was dressed as Santa Claus,
The Smile Foundation and staff from oil
company Shell, handed out toys and
sweets to children in ward 275 at the
hospital, which specifically deals with
plastic and reconstructive surgery.
Together with the country’s Academic
Hospitals, The Smile Foundation
works to put the smile back onto
children’s faces with free corrective
facial reconstructive surgery and
treatments.
➲ All smiles as a cheque for R45 000 is
handed over
Donations such as these help children
in need of surgery for treatable facial
anomalies such as cleft lip, cleft
palate, nose and ear conditions,
facial paralysis, burns and other facial
conditions.
