It is with great joy we report that the work in Madagascar and Rwanda is growing and improving daily.

This summer, I had the opportunity to spend some time with my grandfather and his wife on their farm in the mountains of central Dominican Republic. The beautiful lush greenery and dirt roads are a stark contrast to the dense buildings and asphalt roads of my hometown in Massachusetts, USA. I wish I could say that I’m a country girl at heart, but I've got to tell you how glad I was when I finally hooked my phone up to wifi when I got back to the city.
Calcium is vital for the body because of its vital role in many cellular processes such as muscle movement, blood clotting, and nerve stimulation. Many times when we talk about dental health, we talk about how important calcium is, especially because it is also the main material for bones and teeth. Calcium is so important that there is a signal pathway that alerts the body when calcium levels are low. Since your body cannot make its own calcium, it has to obtain enough from dietary intake or deplete the bones to help maintain normal levels.
Dental cavities, also known as dental decay, occur in the presence of germs called “bacteria” living on the surface of the tooth. They degrade food particles and sugar into an acidic solution that softens the tooth enamel. The bacteria produce a barrier called “plaque” which protects them from our immune system’s recognition.
The World Health Organization estimates there are 2.4 billion people worldwide that have cavities and 620 million babies who suffer from them as well.
