We are thrilled to share some photos we recently received from our wonderful ambassador, Hiep Pham, all the way from Nha Trang, Vietnam! Hiep provided a lesson on oral health to the children of Kim Son Charity School. She also distributed new oral health kits to each child. Thanks to our donors, supporters and volunteers we are able to sustain our programs!

This just in from Meeting Point Kampala! The children have been given their new dental kits and our program has been implemented at the school. We want to thank the staff for their hard work and the Henry Schein Cares Foundation for their donation of dental supplies. Thanks to all our supporters we are able to sustain our programs!

PHS had a successful mission in East Africa! Our first stop was Kampala, Uganda. We checked in on our program at Meeting Point Kampala and delivered new dental kits for the children. We provided the staff with an oral health lesson plan review as well as a tooth and brush model. We also met with a local dental supplier and distributor who PHS will partner with to sustain our program at Meeting Point. Our second stop was Moshi, Tanzania. PHS implemented a new program at TAFCOM Primary School. The children received a lesson on oral health in addition to their very own dental kit including a toothbrush, toothpaste and floss. We were thrilled to see our program in action as the children brushed at the school prior to a fluoride varnish treatment. We want to thank the staff at Meeting Point and TAFCOM for all their help and support. We also want to thank the Henry Schein Cares Foundation who donated supplies towards the mission. Thanks to our donors and supporters PHS is able to sustain our programs and build new ones!
