No Dental Teams to Kenia in autumn 2017

In Kenia there is a new law in force which prohibits that people from outside visiting the schools during the exam period. As a result we have not been granted permission by the Director of Education to send the Dental Teams to the schools. It was a hard decision for us as a board, but for now we see no other possibility then cancel the visit to the schools this autumn.

Degelijk, oprecht en toegewijd hard werken. Zo ken ik het DDC bestuur en hun ondersteuning van mijn 5 jaren voorzitterschap! Ga zo door!

The work you did was very important to the Menzamwenye primary school and the whole village. You diagonised our teeth without payment. For those few remarks we say thank you.

I have been working with DDC since October 2016. We have been giving oral health education and treatment to school children and the society. This has made me feel proud of this foundation. May this dental work continue in Kenia.

Really enjoyed the happy lessions 🙂

DDC is not a visitor, it's a familymember of Kenia

Once I working with them, I am happy... I am happy working with DDC.

People from Nairobi are traveling a long distance just to come to the clinic. I am very happy they give us the motivation and we are very happy that we give the treatment to them. We are doing our best and give the services not only from people in Kwale country but far behind (Kliniek Ukunda).
