Sisterhood SocietyÂ
As the Former President of the Sisterhood Society, I, along with my advisor of the club, held retreats, speaker events, breast cancer awareness events, domestic violence awareness events, coat drives, and club meetings to help empower and uplift women.
Activity involving a seesaw, where the idea was to balance each others weight. A metaphorical meaning for friendship and commitment.

Oral Care for children and adults with special needs
 SADHA members travelled to Staten Island Community College to educate children and adults with special needs about oral hygiene.

Give Kids a Smile Program
Give Kids a smile Program. Brooklyn President: Mr. Eric Adams and Oral Health Committee Chair : Dr. Reneida Reyes showed their support
According to the CDC, nearly 1 in 4 children under the age of 5 already has cavities. On February 19th 2015, I joined hands with members of the American Dental Association, American Dental Hygiene Association and other dental team members to provide oral health exams to young children and educate the public about the prevention of Early Childhood Caries.
One of the education tables where we taught the children in the presence of their parents/caregivers how to effectively brush their teeth, educate them about oral hygiene and preventative procedures against carious lesions including sealants and fluoride baths. Active participation was encouraged
Each child was given a bag filled with educational tools such as “healthy teeth, healthy me” DVDs, tooth erupting sequence pamphlets, and coloring books, which would familiarize them with the dental staff, procedures, and instruments used.
 Head Start Program
 Since the year 1965, Head Start has been providing children under 5 in low-income families with education, health, social and other services. I was ecstatic when our school was asked to volunteer our services in teaching the children about oral hygiene, which included how to brush, and how cavities and plaque forms. Each child, under the consent of their parents, was given an oral examination as well as an application of fluoride varnish.
Groups of us were placed into different classrooms to have one-on-ones with the children. Educational videos were shown and children practiced brushing on typodonts.

Each child was asked to identify a healthy versus an unhealthy snack. Each child was given a sticker and lots of hugs for  participating. đ
Group Mission:Â Orthodontic Oral Hygiene Care
At an orthodontic office in Brooklyn New York, patients were educated about plaque formation, cavities, white spot lesions and how to effectively brush and floss. Active participation was encouraged. Each 
patient was given a baggy of preventative products to use while undergoing their orthodontic therapy.
Televisions, laptops and typodonts were used as visual displays to show the patients the formation of plaque, how to brush and how to use interdental aids. Surveys were given out before and after the presentation to measure the patients’ understanding of oral hygiene.
