Every three months, the public health team gathers together to distribute toothbrushes, toothpaste and dental floss. With 15 public health workers, it takes us a little over an hour to distribute the supplies to the 540 children in the area.
This distribution program, is quite possibly the most difficult and serious of all the distributions when it comes to organizing my workers. Toothbrushes and paste are highly valuable down here. There are families in nearby villages who have never owned a toothbrush and 6-year-old children who've never before brushed their teeth. When I load the public health team up with these supplies it's as if I'm filling their backpacks with money. They work in groups and never alone.
