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.
