I remember the day when I visited this school. It was a challenge for us to get to the school because it is located in a very remote area in the Philippines. The weather wasn’t cooperating. Heavy rain was pouring. The road was not paved, and it’s all dirt and loose gravel. Our vehicle was stuck in the mud so we had to walk 2 more miles with all of the packed food and toothbrushes. I realized that day that my struggle can not be compared to these kids who walk many miles to go to school everyday.

Teachers and students from Jubot Elementary School were grateful to receive the toothbrushes sponsored by SADHA. Thank you Professor Matthews for trusting me to deliver these toothbrushes to these kids.

These smiles made me want to engage more in outreach programs and share the knowledge I have learned from the dental hygiene program.
