Rise Above Foundation Cebu;
It has been some busy days since New Years Eve, and here (today) we are on the other side of Cebu Island, holding a dental mission with Danish and local dentists. I really appreciate your good-will, allotting funding for the dental mission. The school we are at has 1147 children, and so many of them have several totally rotten teeth, and many of them have been in terrible pain for a long time. Through the donation from Wazzub Charity, we were able to treat 148 children today, and we will see how many we will be able to treat tomorrow. It all depends on how bad their teeth are. It is highschool kids, which we will treat tomorrow, so there might be bigger and more difficult work. Everyone are in high spirits and so glad they can help. The principal has done a fantastic job preparing for the mission, and all the teachers are wholeheartedly there, wanting to help in any way they can, as is the community health workers. Today we were a team of 25 people.

I want to share a couple of photos with you.
The kids were so brave.

The kids gladly posed by the banner for Wazzub! Thank you so much for the donation! It makes it possible for us to treat all these kids for free. All of them come from poor families.
Wishing you and your team a wonderful and happy New Year!
God bless you!
Love, Elisabet
