| Becca helping to brush Marie's teeth! |
This past December we were blessed by a visit from two
Italian dental students. The students
held training in oral hygiene for our baby care-takers and our nurses. The training was fun and interesting and our
baby care-takers were amazed to learn that a baby is born with his permanent
teeth already formed in his mouth!

And then recent short-term visitors, Faith Cathcart and
Debra Armstrong from Canada, brought in innumerable toothbrushes and toothpaste
to the orphanage! Seems like God had a
plan to improve the oral hygiene of both the orphanage children and all of our
school children!
We have had toothbrush holders made with a little pocket
for the toothbrush of each of our toddlers and similar holders made for each of
our classrooms. With these, the children
can safely store their toothbrushes from day to day.
Our toddlers now hurry to finish their meals so that they
can brush their teeth! What fun!
