PAGES Operation HOPE

The Philippine American Group of Educators and Surgeons (PAGES) was established in 1990 as a result of extending the charitable hands of the team of the Philippine American Group of Educators and Surgeons (PAGES) to the poor people of the Philippines. This group of medical missionaries aspired to help the poor constituents of the Philippines, especially children who suffer from birth defects such as cleft lip and palate.The mission of Operation Hope is to help those who cannot afford surgery cost and hospital expenses. Without the surgeries, these children will continue to be ostracized by the community and society because of their appearance. However, they keep hoping that someday, a good Samaritan group like PAGES will come along and help them fulfill their wishes of looking like normal human beings.
