We are nearing crunch time for registration for the Fall 1000
Smiles & Sealant Projects. There are
still a few spots left, so the time to act is NOW!
Our biggest points of need for 1000 Smiles are
week 2 (Sept. 22-30) in Ocho Rios and week 4 (Oct. 20-28) in Montego Bay. The Fall Sealant Project will be located in
Whitehouse from November 10-18. Please
contact Tiffany Rinaldi @ Tiffany@gsjamaica.org
or visit the 1000
Smiles Project information page if you or someone you know is interested in
joining us.
The Sealant met with success and enthusiasm this spring when
we visited Green Island Primary School for the 4th time. The Ministry of Health will be taking over
this project in the future with support from a liaison assigned by Great Shape!
Inc.
Volunteer Kerrie Ransome, said:
“In
what is our fourth visit to Green Island school where we've been piloting a
sealant program, we have met many new friends, made professional acquaintances,
and enjoyed success in creating a sustainable school based sealant program.
It is gratifying to see our efforts produce a positive result. Pulpdent should
be recognized for its generous support in this endeavor.”
Pulpdent
has generously donated 3 years worth of sealant materials and has committed to
future donations as well! We are truly
blessed to have some of the best sponsors and volunteers in the world! If you are interested in joining this
unstoppable force, the time is now!
Was this project at Green Island Primary School? I fully endorse the application of sealants. My daughters had them applied at the appropriate time. I won't say how many years ago that was, but they still have no cavities.
