Prince George, B.C. – Six CNC dental hygiene students and their instructor will head to Tanzania next week to provide preventative oral health care treatment to children, adults and seniors.
Describing it as an “unreal experience,” the students will be going for two weeks as part of Projects Abroad, a volunteer organization which provides meaningful and safe work and study placements around the world.
The students leave Feb. 10 for Dar es Salaam, a city of 2.8 million people located on the coast of the Indian Ocean in eastern Africa. The port city is the country’s largest and most affluent with a high concentration of trading, manufacturing and service industries.
The CNC contingent includes three first-year dental hygiene students: Denise Densmore, Kelsey Raimundo and Ball, as well as three second-year students: Kerry Smith, Tyana Huetzelmann and Trisha Pichoch. They’ll be accompanied by their instructor Heather Mohr as well long-time Prince George dentist Dr. Richard Wilczek.

Not to mention dentists and hygienists donate time at the Native Friendship Centre for by donation work.
Good for them. I was not aware the students still took the public at the training facility. Good for them. Good to see the tradition still carrying on. It must be a good thirty years now.
