Small ways to make a difference
3
There are 4 main focuses of the SEA donation
campaigns

• Oral health products
• Medical supplies
• Educational supplies
• Financial support

Oral Health

• Students conduct a dental hygiene campaign in the
  shantytowns where
• Dental health among children is often very poor
• Many children have multiple, visible dental
  caries
• Dental products are often considered an
  unnecessary extra expense for families already
  under a great deal of financial stress
• By teaching children how to brush their teeth
  and providing them with the tools to do so,
  entire families are encouraged to take up the
  practice
• This improves the health of the entire family
  and the community as a whole
• After this campaign first started in Brazil
  2005, the incidence of dental caries among the
  children worked with decreased by 50 within 1
  year!
