Facing the World
Facing the World is a United Kingdom-based charity that offers surgery to children with facial disfigurements. All the children offered surgery are from poor countries where they would have no other access to surgery to help them overcome their disfigurements.
==History==
Facing the World was set up in 2003 by Norman Waterhouse and Martin Hirigoyen Kelly, two craniofacial plastic surgeons at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital. Both had formerly volunteered their time and skills to medical outreach charities abroad, but had been touched by cases of children that they were unable to help because of the limited facilities and lack of expertise in the countries in which they were working. With Facing the World, they determined to bring children to the UK for surgery, rather than attempting to perform the operations with the limited infrastructure of the children's home countries. Bringing the children to the UK allowed them to draw on the skills of other like-minded UK medical professionals. Sarah Driver-Jowitt was hired to manage the charity and in 2004, an office was established close to the London hospitals where the majority of the surgeries are performed. The charity was launched publicly on February 15, 2003 at a charity fund-raising premiere of the film ''Solaris'' attended by George Clooney and his co-stars.
