It was started in 2001 by the Scarborough Rotary Passport Club and has already reached over 650,000 students. Their purpose is to educate and motivate children and to bring together dentists, Rotarians, teachers and parents to create a celebration around proper dental care. This year, Brush-a-mania went all the way to Cambodia, thanks to Raffy and Patti. Please read more to see Patti's Thank You letter to Raffy and see some photos of the children , at school with their tooth brushes and toothpaste.....
Dear Raffy,
We now have had numerous different sessions, teaching the children the proper method for brushing their teeth and then giving your wonderful toothpaste and toothbrushes to each of them. We demonstrate and then we get some of the kids to demonstrate too. Though these children tend to be very shy, they are all laughing and clapping by the end. Thank you for bringing such joy and such important hygiene products to so many here in Cambodia. I really appreciate your very generous donation.
I am attaching three pictures - one from one school and two from another school.
And thanks again, Raffy, for your generous donation to our schools in Cambodia.
Best regards
Patti
