Have you ever realised that your toothbrush and toothpaste are luxury items?
Twice now, we have been able to bring in a team of dentists to do dental screening, education sessions, and treatments. What is the best prevention for tooth decay? Being able to brush one's teeth! When your family cannot afford a toothbrush or toothpaste, there are obvious obstacles.
Thanks to a campaign run in the spring, we were able to supply all Dekpor Basic School students with a new toothbrush and tube of toothpaste as they headed back to classes.
A big shout of gratitude to the following people:
- Gillian Anderson
- Ann Macoun
- Jerry and Elaine Schnarr
- Isabelle Leavy
- Sandra Hartman
- Jennifer Francis
- Jo-Anne Brady
- Laura and Jean Bondi for Kanjai
- Denise Lee
- Kim Nelson (for Grace's birthday)
- Jeanette and Ilienna Hasanoski (in honour of Mrs. Cline)
- Leora Rissin
- EveLyn Dunn
