IN its continued effort to provide free dental services to children across the country, Digicel Guyana travelled to Timehri, East Bank Demerara with the dental bus on Friday, and more than 70 school-aged children were attended to by the Dental School staffers.

Apart from cleaning and extractions, children were gifted lunch packs, oral care packs, and some other school supplies to help them get ready for the new school year.

This activity was the second location Digicel visited during its dental outreach programme, which kicked off on August 19th at the Digicel office at High Street, Kingston.

Digicel’s new Sponsorship Executive, Louanna Abrams, had this to say: “The response here in Timehri is great; we were pleasantly surprised to see today’s huge turnout. We are happy that the children came out and everyone got to see the dentist. Mission accomplished in Timehri”.

Digicel will be visiting Hararuni, Skeldon, Mahaica, Tuschen and Anna Regina as part of this year’s dental outreach programme. The company is in partnership with the Rotary Club of Georgetown Central, to whom the dental bus is attached. (Michel Outridge)
