T & T drive

FROM T&T DRIVE TO ST.MONICA’s CHILDREN HOME!

The toothbrush and toothpaste drive was FANTASTIC!!!!!! There was indeed a lot of smiling and laughter!!! A team of Social Arms and DDS representatives went to St.Monica’s Children’s home in Chapelton , Clarendon on Sunday October 23rd. It was an adventure because we had no idea how far or what we would encounter over many hills and valleys but it was a worthwhile trip. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted, we then proceeded to start our program involving singing songs; SMILE A WHILE and WITH CHRIST IN THE VESSEL YOU CAN SIMLE AT THE STORM. After we prayed we played a getting- to- know- you- game called Four corners , the kids were asked to draw their favourite fruit, what they want to become, their hero and what animal they would want to be. Dr.Shawnette Finegan-Bailey accompanied the team and gave the kids a Dental Hygiene talk which was entertaining and very educational and demonstrative (BIG TEETH). We then distributed the dental packages with the donations from the class , the contents of this package also included brochures and stickers donated from Dr. Finegan-Bailey. As things came to a close it was hard to say goodbye but we played one game where we held hands in a circle and tried to fit through a hoola hoop without breaking the circle!! VERY FUN!! I’m GRATEFUL FOR ALL THOSE WHO DONATED TO THE DRIVE AND CAME OUT TO SUPPORT!!!
