"Nice Smile" Dental Clinic a reality!


It had long been our dream to have our own mobile clinic. In past years, while organizing dental missions in depressed areas, we determined to be able to offer long term solutions to the immense dental problems facing poor children.

Our "Nice Smile" dental clinic is now a reality. Through sponsorship from the Danish Rotary Club, the United Nations Women's Guild of Geneva, Switzerland and local sponsors, we were able to launch our free dental clinic, "Nice Smile" at the beginning of 2006. Rotary pledged to pay the wages of 2 dentists and 1 secretary/assistant for one year, and through the other sponsors, we were able to purchase all the needed equipment and some of the needed materials and medicine.

Our need is now sponsorship for medicine and materials on an ongoing basis. We believe that treatment together with regular tooth brushing, as well as information and education will help pull these kids up to a healthy standard of oral care and a brighter future with beautiful smiles.
