Amidst the destruction of homes, burnt ration and livestock, and chilling temperatures of -5°C, MSF’s Phase 1 initiatives provided essential relief to 40 affected families. Despite the challenges, Million Smiles Foundation stood in solidarity with local communities, conveying a heartfelt message: “We are here for our brothers and sisters, bringing a million more smiles.” The sacrifice of leaving my family for this mission encapsulates the true spirit of Million Smiles.
