Running miles for children's smiles

In the Philippines there are many children living in difficult conditions, toddlers are growing up in places full of crime and poverty. Hebron Children's Home accepts disadvantaged children from the Bulacan region. It operates a program of Christian love and care. Providing basic needs and education and if safe and viable preparing them to reconcile back to their family, or to a new family within two years.

Recently it has become apparent that there is a need to establish a dental program. Many of the children are afraid to visit the dentist as it is well known one of the ways to treat tooth ache is to remove the tooth. A beautiful girl aged only 14 quietly suffered for far too long. Covering her mouth when she smiled so no-one could see the decay. A wonderful dentist has been found who will save teeth rather than extract them but this is costly.
