In a heartwarming global collaboration, Akal Academy, Chugawan (in the loving memory of S. Chambail Singh) welcomed a team of delegates from Drexel University, USA, who brought with them a wealth of knowledge and a mission to educate young minds on the importance of oral hygiene and to take a stand against the silent epidemic of tooth decay.
Meet the Missionaries of Oral Health
The visiting team Dr. Jill B. Derstine, Dr. Marylou McHugh, Dr. Diane Depew, and Dr. Julia Mazurak received a spirited welcome from the students and staff. With empathy, enthusiasm, and engaging demonstrations, they brought to life the importance of brushing, flossing, and maintaining oral hygiene from a young age.
Learning That Begins with a Smile
The interactive session included a live demonstration of the correct brushing technique, an overview of the causes and effects of poor oral hygiene, and a discussion on healthy eating habits for strong teeth. The children were actively engaged and responded with enthusiasm, curiosity, and confidence.
A Toothbrush, A Lesson, A Lifelong Habit
Each student was gifted a toothbrush and toothpaste simple yet powerful tools that symbolize the beginning of a healthy habit. The delegates emphasized that oral health is a community responsibility. By educating students, we empower families and, ultimately, uplift entire communities.
Sowing Seeds of Health in Rural Soil
The initiative, which focused on grassroots awareness, serves as an incredible example of how education can be a powerful tool for transformation. Students left not only with cleaner teeth but with clearer minds about their role in keeping themselves and others healthy.
Let’s Celebrate This Effort
May this be the beginning of many such life-changing collaborations. Let’s inspire our children to smile wider, live healthier, and lead brighter futures one brushstroke at a time.
