What makes your kids smile?

Smiles are the truest expression of happiness. To commemorate Smile Month this October, Havaianas, the world's favorite flip-flops, is launching the "Design a Smile" campaign to spread cheer and share thousands of smiles with Filipino children. Havaianas is creating a venue for children to heal the broken smiles of other children who have cleft lip and cleft palate deformities.

A series of one-day design contests from October 16 to November 14, "Design a Smile" will give children the chance to show the world their artistic talents and, at the same time, create better futures for the children of Operation Smile, a non-profit, volunteer medical organization that provides reconstructive surgery and healthcare to kids with facial deformities. Children from 5 to 12 years of age can participate in "Design a Smile" to lend their creativity for a greater cause. All they have to do is come to any of the events, which will be held in all Ayala Malls and other major malls nationwide, and design the sole of a Havaianas pair based on the theme, "What makes you smile?" The winners with the top three designs will receive a summer creativity workshop from My Masterpiece Movement. They will also receive products and gift certificates from Havaianas, Faber-Castell, Polaroid, Kidsports, and Orange Juice.

Once the designs have been short listed, people can visit www.havaianasphilippines.com/smile to vote for their favorite pair. For more information on voting and other updates, visit this site again on December 1, 2010. The top winning design will be produced as a special Havaianas pair with a percentage of the sales going to Operation Smile. So, this October, let your kids share their creativity and help heal the smiles of their fellow children.
