Our Dental Nurse Laura, known for her
unusual giving to those worse off, has just been granted a special license to
travel to the remote Rif Mountains region.
Her mission of mercy departs September
26, 2015 for five hard, gruelling, yet fulfilling days.
The destination: a remote village, Khizana,
with 500 children and a high intake of honey, sweet mint tea, and no dental
health service that contributes to extreme dental decay. The goal is to take as
many children out of daily dental pain as is possible during the 2-days of
clinic.
Then on to a second project in
collaboration with Rifcom.org http://www.rifcom.org/ to take a further 250
children out of daily dental pain.
Laura Watson is usually found helping
treat patients in the comfortable practice called Greyholme Dental Suite, Bishops
Cleeve, Cheltenham. Surrounded by modern day dental equipment, running water,
and a fabulous support team. Everything she could ever need.
Laura said, “This is the second year I have been over to morocco to help these poor
children out of pain and I can tell you, nothing prepares you for the
devastation that we saw when we were there. All of the children are amazing and
I am proud to have met everyone of them ”
And Laura finances her own trip.
Cally Gedge, co-founder of the award winning
Dental Mavericks charity, who organise the annual expedition said, “This is our fifth year and this Moroccan community
now relies on UK dentists to rid them from the daily pain of decayed teeth.
There is no free or easy access to dental care.”
