Dental camps continue in Bangladesh – October

The local dental team in Dhaka, led by dentists Dr Sunny and Dr KC, and NGO Forum coordinator Rizwan, continued to deliver dental camps in the slum areas of Dhaka.  This will be a regular occurrence, 2 days per month, delivering dental care and education to the slum school children and their families.

The October camps reached 189 people, with 175 fillings done and 90 teeth extracted in 2 days.  All kids and families received dental education.

The photos speak for themselves – a great young team working together, with support and visits from the President and others from the Rotary Club of Dhaka.

Fading eastern light over western NSW plains on re-entry to Sydney.

Tough visit to Nepal this time. Struggling economy, massive inflation, increasing suicide rates, fewer and fewer jobs. Small wonder the drain of young people coursing out of the country, mainly aged 18-30 years, continues to grow. On average 3-4000 per day.

Villages are emptying. Schools are closing due to falling numbers of students. Families are breaking up, leaving the parents to grow into either a lonely retirement in Nepal or face moving to another country where they are with their kids and grandkids but without their daily neighbours and local community.

It’s great to see so many beautiful Nepalese working and helping in Australia and other countries, and seeking opportunities they can’t find in their home country but the social, structural and political fracturing back in Nepal is deepening. The next few years will be very interesting.

Namaste!!🙏🏽 🙏🏽
