Other agencies are also considering participation. Over 25,000 boxes came in, up from 18,500 boxes in 1999. Help supply them with toothpaste, toothbrushes and floss by making a dental kit. As of yesterday, the dentists had seen 70 - 80 patients in the facility we put together. The teams going into the schools are surprised at their ability to speak in front of people both in regard to dental hygiene instruction and sharing the gospel.
Teachers are also happy about the project and are joining in to help.
Our team begins working today with 800 children each day. Teaching and demonstrating proper dental care habits in the Gjakova schools. Our trip is scheduled for June 15-23. We'll spend most of our time in and around the city of Gjakova, ending our trip with a stop in London. The morning of our last full day, all the workers had songs for us and gave us carvings as gifts.
