May, 2011 - We received the below pictures from Dr Steven B., and Hygienist Jane B., and the team at Indiana University School of Dentistry.

Thank you for sending us the pictures.

In a letter dated 1/28/11, Dr Dale P of Landers WY sent this in, from a trip to Honduras with the Mission of Mercy project. The group treated over five hundred medical patients and two hundred and twenty five dental patients.

"The trip to Montserrat was the best one yet!" Dr. P. handed out toothbrushes to schools, and even to the Government of Montserrat's Dentist, Dr. Coretta F.
We received a very nice letter from the Office of the Government House of Montserrat, thanking us for helping out.
Proud to serve, Dr P.! The thanks belong to YOU!

This is the operating theater, waiting room and consultation room for Mission of Mercy's trip to Honduras. All that is missing are year old Highlights magazines! Four villages benefited from the ministrations of three general helpers, one pre-med student, one interpreter, two physicians and two dentists. the group treated over five hundred medical patients and two hundred dental patients. The good folks behind this effort are Dr Dale P and Dr Phillip G of Wyoming. Thanks for letting POH be part of the team!

To My Friends At POH -
A few hundred Cambodian orphans in Phnom Penh now have new POH toothbrushes. Here are some photos I thought you would enjoy. Several of these children have HIV, and one has AIDS. The folded hands gesture of Buddhists means a very respective “Thank You”. I took the photos after extractions, hence the gauze. Thank you for your generosity. Aren’t these kids beautiful?
Kind regards, David E. DDS

One of our favorite people, Dr Wilson Lathrop sent us this picture in 2004. We only now took it out of the frame to scan it.
This is the village of Itibo, Kenya. At least the children of the village of Itibo. And they all got toothbrushes! Thanks again, Dr L.

September 2009 - We got this set of pictures from Susan S., RDH. Outdoor operatory, adoring fans, a mile long waiting line.

Bob,
Thank you for the donation of 2 gross of tooth brushes for our international volunteer dentistry programs. We recently returned from Ecuador, attached are two photos of some recipients of your generosity. We were able to distribute POH toothbrushes to both adults and children in rural areas of Ecuador, Mexico, Guatemala, Haiti and Honduras. There were 2,000 recipients, but the photos of these kids are some of the cutest, and they show your product logo as well. I'll have our secretary print off the two photos, and will include them in the check I am sending to cover the cost of the freight of the toothbrushes. Thanks again.
Sincerely,
Tim C,
Professor, IU School of Dentistry.
(We picked our fave of the two-the one that shows the logo the best. Shameless... POH :-)

Mission to Haiti - Hello Sarah & POH,
We are back from Haiti after a wondrous trip.
We saw over 1200 people in 4 days of clinics. We had a toothbrush and
fluoride station where we taught the children how to brush their teeth...Our
dentist pulled over 100 teeth...
Thanks so much for the toothbrush donation!
They were much needed and appreciated! All of us were touched by the
gratefulness of the Haitian people for our attempts...
I've attached a newspaper article (with
photos) that was published here about the trip, as well as some photos
directly related to teeth! If you would like more I have a DVD
available...
We will soon be planning our next trip and if it's
okay will include you in future donor requests...we also receive ongoing
communications from the Wrays, a mission family in Haiti, which we would love to
share with anyone interested in what kinds of things we support in
Haiti...
Please let me know if you would like to receive
these updates...
Sincerely and gratefully,
Barkha (an RN from Missouri)

These youngsters in the back of the pickup seem pretty happy with their new toothbrushes! Susan S., RDH, from Nashville TN sent this pic in, from a mission trip to Honduras. Duyure, to be precise. Dr B saw over 100 patients that week, in his makeshift outdoor clinic. The orphanage nearby received a goody bag too. Thanx, Susan!

We

City, the poorest area of Belize.
Thanks for helping us in our mission!

Hi POH! Here's a photo of the valley at Wilson's Creek, Australia. As horses make the landscape more
beautiful, here is Jinx posing for the photo. He does not floss, but I'm sure his teeth would last longer
if he did, especially if he used POH! Thanks, Asa M.

Hello Flossy Friends! I hope you've flossed today! This is the picture long ago requested for your world page.
Unfortunately, the POH container was in the car when I had the opportunity to take this shot. I am certain that one of your 'puter wizards can pop a POH can in there somewhere! FYI: I took this picture yesterday at Ft. Williams in Cape Elizabeth, ME.
As you can see it was an exquisite day! Well worth the sunscorched face and arm! The lighthouse is Portland Head Light, the most photographed lighthouse in the world and the rocky Atlantic coast is quintessential Maine!
Your friend, Barb
