Dentaid
is a registered charity No:1075826, its aim is to bring relief
to thousands of children and adults in the developing world where
tooth decay is rife, abcesses can cause death, and DIY extractions
are commonplace.Dental equipment donated by Dentists in the UK
is refurbished in Dentaids workshops and then given to Dentists
and Hospitals who desperately need it overseas.
One
of our clients, a local Dentist Dr Margaret Barrault has single
handedly raised over £ 1200 funds and surgery equipment has been
renovated in the Dentaid workshop. Dr Barrault and her husband,
Jean-Claude have special interest in a project at KAGANDO HOSPITAL
in UGANDA. Both Margaret and her husband have worked very hard
to raise funds and Jean-Claude will himself be flying out to install
the equipment this June.
The
equipment has as said before been renovated, dismantled and strapped
to a palate. Special freight boxes have been constructed by a
firm in Reading. The latest stroke of good fortune was the offer
of free air freight space to Entebbe. The pilot Joe Roy of DAS
Air Cargo will also take Margarets husband, Jean-Claude and he
will install the equipment on site. As you can see from the photographs
the facilities are very poor, materials non existent. This project
which Dr Barrault and her husband have dedicated so much time
to needs further support.
Donations
may be made ,or any materials or dental equipment would be gratefully
received . The concept of the project is simple, a heartfelt promise
to share skills, give friendship, support and time to those who
have so little.
