On November 16th, Project Healthy Smile will be participating in GiveMN.org‘s “Give To The Max Day”. By making a donation on this day you can be a part of our mission to Save Smiles Worldwide. Thank you for your support!

Our new program began earlier this month at Camp Lapu Lapu in Cebu, Philippines. Our partner Juanito I King Foundation had a toothbrushing drill followed by consultation and assessment with fluoride application. Information on proper toothbrushing was also posted around the school. Thanks again to everyone who supports our mission in Saving Smiles Worldwide!

A big thank you to Lynn Foulke for distributing new dental supplies for our program at TAFCOM! Lynn travels a couple times a year to Tanzania, bringing groups with her to raise funds for schools and programs related to the schools in Moshi, Tanzania. We are happy to partner with her and proud of all TAFCOM has accomplished and continues to do! As always thank you to everyone who supports our mission. #SavingSMilesWorldwide

Our mission in Cebu City, Philippines and Nha Trang, Vietnam was a success! We visited Tubunan Integrated School, sat in on their oral health lesson and distributed new supplies. We also had the pleasure of witnessing their daily toothbrushing. The school is expanding to accommodate higher grade levels and part of the expansion will include a centralized toothbrushing station. We also visited Camp Lapu Lapu Elementary School in Cebu City where our next program will begin sometime this summer. We want to give a great BIG thank you to our partner Juanito I King Foundation for their hospitality and helping us make our programs reality. We were in the Sunstar Cebu newspaper!

We also visited Kim Son Charity School and Thien Tam Orphanage in Nha Trang, Vietnam where we gave review lessons on oral health and distributed new supplies. We’d like to thank our ambassador Hiep Pham and Loving Kindness Vietnam for helping us keep our programs alive.

We’d also like to thank Smile Squared for their donation of toothbrushes! Every time you buy a toothbrush from them they donate a toothbrush to organizations like ours. Last but not least we have to thank everyone who continues to support our mission to Save Smiles Worldwide!

Results are in for our 10 month oral health program at Tubunan Integrated School! Dentists working with Juanito I King Foundation did evaluations once a month at the school to collect data on our program. They also provided cleanings for the students and distributed new supplies when needed. Implementing daily brushing improved oral health by 83.9 percent! We are looking forward to continuing our partnership with JIKF to sustain our program at Tubunan and build new programs. A very big thank you to JIKF for all their hard work and to our donors for helping us continue to save smiles worldwide.

Thank you to our Project Healthy Smile Ambassador and good friend in Vietnam, Hiep Pham Thi for providing a lesson and new dental supplies to the children in Thien Tam Orphanage. Hiep has been helping PHS sustain our programs and build new programs in and around the surrounding areas of Nha Trang, Vietnam since 2012. Thank you Hiep for all you do!!!
