Dia de Salud!!! Kinda..

Yesterday was my Dia de Salud. However, it rained again the night before so some volunteers couldnt make it. No worries, two came out and we were able to do a dental charla and a nutrtion charla. The kids had vacation extended a week because there it is still really cold and everyone is worried about the swine flu. So, I walked door to door inviting the kids. I was actually surprised at the turn out, a lot of people came! It was great. The kids loved the charlas. We played games, sang songs, and got them really interested in eating well and brushing their teeth!
The teachers and students are all excited about the dental program I am starting at school. The kids will brush their teeth after recess everyday. I was able to get free toothbrushes and toothpaste so everyone is happy.

Dia de Salud 2009! Yayyyy.
