The girls are laughing at the tongue showing behind this little boy.

This school is equipped with water pipe facilities. However, they have water rationing on every alternate day. And villagers will come and collect the water with many 1.5L of water bottles.

The energetic crew for Smile Action Project 7.0! 

The kids are excited because they can get free toothpaste and happy toothbrush! Oh ya, we are looking for kind hearted persons or company to sponsor these toothpastes and tooth brushes for the children! 

Brush, Brush Brush the teeth, brush it everyday! Some children do not own a set of tooth brush and toothpaste, and some have never seen a tooth brush before! 

The children are very brave. They let the dentists to do any treatment on their teeth. 

Our Cambodian volunteers are very helpful in assisting the dentists as well as translating the treatment procedures to the kids. 

After Oral Health education session, the children are registered with a registration form for dentist to fill up. 

Ah.. the kids spit on the ground and on their bare feet! We need more hygiene education! 

The children are saying 'thank you' to our fellow dentists with their colourful drawings! 

The curious eyes behind the window bars. This is their first time seeing dental treatment in the classroom.
