Guest Speaker — Daniel Shannon. Daniel is not your average speaker. Imagine a man whose earliest childhood memories are characterized by poverty. A man who, as a child, tested into the Gifted and Talented educational program in the country’s number one school district; and yet this same child somehow managed to secure his own reserved seat in the school’s “behavior room.” Imagine that same man’s best friends grew to be drug dealers and inmates, yet despite what seemed to be an inevitable fate …he escaped. Daniel Shannon is a visionary. From humble beginnings, the prospect for a prosperous future was bleak. Rather than succumbing to the circumstances around him, he developed a vision for the life and success that he wanted, he invested himself in that VISION and now he’s living it out! Daniel, a magna cum laude graduate from the prestigious Howard University has overcome countless obstacles in order to arrive in his position as one of the country’s leading authorities in Visionary Transformation. Daniel has traveled the world, from Ethiopia to Japan, competed with and against some of the world’s most talented athletes as a Division 1 Track and Field star, has more than a decade of leadership experience in corporate sales with a fortune 50 company, has authored a book and has owned multiple properties all before the age of 30 years old. The culmination of experiences from Daniel’s meteoric rise in his personal and professional life creates an undeniable value added experience for any audience that invests in his services. This motivational guru is the perfect speaker for any organization seeking to produce and perform at the peak of its potential. Daniel specializes in Motivation, Conflict Management, 21st Century Diversity (Traditional, Intergenerational, Socioeconomic and Educational), the Millennial Generation, and Personal Branding. Daniel’s audiences are quickly captivated by the stories he shares. The depth of his content coupled with his signature style of incorporating language arts into his presentations has made Daniel a dynamic and lively speaker, much loved byhis audiences. l Daniel@DanielShannonSpeaks.com

See you there!

PHS revisited Fondation Enfant Jesus in Lamardelle and Kenskoff, Haiti. We taught the children and staff at both creche locations about oral health and distributed new dental supplies to the children. We had a lesson with the school staff and clinical workers from FEJ’s new medical clinic. Dental kits were distributed to school staff who will implement our program for the new school year starting this month. PHS also donated a tooth model to aid FEJ in sustaining oral health education. All toothbrushes distributed were donated by Smile Squared. Thank you FEJ and our interpreter, Ronald Jean Luis for all the support!

We want to send a big THANK YOU to Lew and Judy Priven for distributing new supplies to the children of Meeting Point Kampala. We are looking forward to revisiting Uganda in January 2014! Thanks to all our supporters we are able to sustain our programs.
