Webert and Fritzner work in the girl’s home, taking names and doing general health exams.



In the children’s village, the team took down the names and ages of all the children living in each house, while at the same time, doing a general health exam of each child, noting who had scabies, ringworm etc.




The public health team giving their first public lesson to a group of nearly 300 children and adults after Sunday Mass. The topic was oral hygiene. Using posters, skits and even a monologue, the team emphasized the importance of taking care of your teeth and brushing twice a day. Everyone in attendance received a toothbrush and toothpaste.





By the end of the day, over 600 children and 20 adults received new toothbrushes and toothpaste.
