Our second hygiene lesson for the students was about brushing their teeth. We showed them how to brush and gave them all a travel toothbrush set (brush, mini toothpaste, and a holder). In one of the classes I asked how many of them had their own toothbrush at home and only about 4 out of 13ish raised their hand! Many of them literally use sticks as their method of brushing their teeth...they'll just pick one up and chew on it/scrape their teeth with it. NOT the most efficient way to brush, but I guess its better than nothing! They were SO excited to get their new sets. When I passed them out, one boy named 'Said' said "Oh, God bless you!"...then a few more chimed in in agreement. We are so glad we're able to share some basic items with them that they otherwise wouldn't have!
