Toothbrushes and Paste - 2021

Class of children joyously holding toothbrushes and toothpaste above their heads in their outstretched arms

September 2021

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
