Doctor and dentist pay a visit

The care for our children naturally includes medical care; here also our volunteers play a crucial role. This time it was Mama Bev a supporter of Malaika Kids for a number of years – who brought doctors and dentists with her on a recent visit so that they could check the children’s health.

The doctors checked the children from head to toe and asked them if they had any complaints. Most children were very healthy but a couple of children with minor ailments were given some medicine. The children’s home was also given a store of vitamin tablets because also in Africa they say ‘The higher the resistance, the better’

The dentist’s visit will long be remembered because some of them needed to have a tooth pulled. Not really something to look forward to you, especially if your little friend before you has just had his tooth taken out, but all the children bravely showed their teeth to the dentist for the check up. Afterwards all the children were given a lesson in how to polish their teeth!
