Fundación Asha-Kiran, wishing to give global care to the children who attend our Day Care Centers and the children who live at the Yashodhara Shelter Home in Pune, is planning new strategies and Projects.
The Dental and Oral Care Program is one of the strategies that sets out from a context of the defense of children’s rights as set forth in the United Nations Convention of the Rights of the Child (1989), just as the rest of our interventions do. This Project will be carried out during two months – from October 20 to December 20, 2008 – by a volunteer dentist (Itziar Oñatibia, from Urretxu, Gipuzkoa, Spain). Our projections are that we will be able to give dental care to at least 120 children between the ages of 3 and 18.
We are aware that the majority of dental problems could be prevented by education, regular check-ups and proper hygiene habits. It is of utmost importance to raise awareness among adults and children about the relevance of having a healthy mouth. Other lacks, aches and illnesses that are sometimes caused or worsened by oral/dental problems can also be prevented by good oral hygiene.
OBJECTIVES:
General objectives
To improve the health of the street children that Fundación Asha-Kiran cares for
in Pune.
To raise the awareness of children and parents alike about the importance of having proper oral hygiene and healthy habits in order to stay in good health.
To cover the needs of all of the Children who are presently attending our Day Care Centers and those who live at Yashodhara Shelter Home.
Specific Objectives
To treat the teeth of all the Children from the Day Care Centers and Yashodhara Shelter Home.
To improve the children’s habits in regard to dental, gum and overall oral care.
To provide children from the CFC’s and the Yashodhara Shelter Home with the necessary supplies for them to continue to take proper care of their mouth and stay in good health.
To raise their awareness concerning unhealthy habits such as smoking, drinking, or taking substances which have a detrimental effect on their teeth and overall development.
To lessen the amount of caries, infections and other common childhood dental ailments.To reduce the fear that children and their families have of dentists and physicians in general.
In order to carry out our Project, we need to secure the necessary dental equipment and supplies. To this end, we urge you to give us your support either by contacting your own dentist or acquaintances, or through a cash donation.
Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us to receive further information and to get to know the ways in which you may cooperate with us and be part of this undertaking. As you know, our number is 902 181 245.
Together, we can ‘draw smiles’ on the faces of those in need.
We are awaiting you. Warm regards from
Fundación Asha-Kiran.
