14. Timon's Report - Orphan School, dental needs



Here is the class room of the orphans to be visited for the oral health program from the clinic. A quick questioning revealed not many of them have got a tooth brush, it as good as a luxury, but do not mention about tooth paste, you may not find any who use it on a regular basis. So the least we can make, beginning with the oral health education will make a difference, there after more and more will follow.





Next is where we stood to pray with the orphans before we left. The one who is holding a rabbit is a pygmy orphan carrying this gift for the visitors. 

This is the African way of showing the gratefulness or courtesy to a visitor, and it’s not supposed to be refused because the visitor believes they are the needy ones. Rejecting such a gift will be interpreted as lack of respect, or dishonour we received the gift with thanks giving and Ringo’s wife took charge to make it consumable.

Please remember to mention them in your prayers as well.

The next picture is the school view from the compound. It is time for going back home.
