Recently, Thailand entered it's 3rd and by far, largest wave of the pandemic yet. Some small, private clinics that are considered non-essential remain closed. This has continued to make it difficult for some people to get access to proper dental care. So far this year, our team has been able to provide dental supplies and teach dental care to more than 1,200 people. Everyone has received toothbrushes and toothpaste as well. One particularly large event we hosted in February for 300 children stands out. I can't disclose the location but the children were from a very poor and remote area. Some of the children told me that they had parents in prison or hadn't seen their parents for many months as they search for work. Desipte the challenges they face at home, they are very happy to participate in our interactive learnings about brushing their teeth and were thrilled to get a free toothbrush and toothpaste for children. We don't always return to the same villages we host these events at, but we will be returning to this one again soon. Thank you for supporting our work!
