There are about 60 kids at the orphanage we work with in Titayin. Before we showed up, they were sharing about 10 toothbrushes that got "rinsed" in the dirty bath water tub.

Sharon and I team-taught a lesson on dental hygiene; why teeth are important, how to take care of them, and what it means to "brush your teeth". Thanks to generous donations from previous volunteers and AmeriCares (http://www.americares.org/), we were able to give each child their own toothbrush.

After the lesson we spent a few hours coloring. Most orphans in Haiti never get the chance to do "arts and crafts". The kids were very excited, and wanted their photos with their drawings.

I'm having trouble loading photos from the slow internet connection here in Haiti. To see more photos, visit the photo gallery on my facebook page.
