Smileawi was set up in October 2012 after Nigel and Vicky Milne, two dentists from Dunoon on the west coast of Scotland, travelled to Malawi. They were overwhelmed by the lack of dental services and came home with the determination to try to do something to help. They have returned every year since providing much needed dental care and this year I will be joining them providing basic and safe dentistry to a population which otherwise has a very limited access to dental services. I graduated as a dentist last year and now work in Nigel and Vicky's dental practice in Dunoon and I am eager to help them in any way I can.
When we next visit Malawi we intend to :
1. Carry out work on the existing surgeries so that they will
be fit to be used by dental teams coming from the UK
2. Set up preventive programmes in the primary schools adjacent
to the three surgeries
3. Carry out treatment using the new portable equipment at
remote sites
4. Train staff in the hospitals to provide basic treatment safely
5. Provide treatment for as many patients as possible
We will be heading off to Malawi in September of this year and I am trying to raise as much money as I can to help me get there and money for the much needed equipment and materials needed to provide dental treatment.
I will be doing many fundraising activites before we head off in September including:
climbing Ben Nevis
Running a 10k
Charity race night
Bag Packing
And much more ...
So friends, family & anyone at all who would like to help my cause ... please dig deep and sponser me!! I have been to the gym twice in 2 days (I visited the gym twice the whole of last year... so big improvement) to train for all these events so I am putting my all into them. I will keep you all updated with dates of when I am doing fundraising activites.
Thank you all in advance! xox
