This past month Dr. Leon Dogon, a Professor in Restorative Dentisty at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, visited Sri Ram Ashram with two graduating dental students, Julia Endrizzi and Sirena Hsuesh. Dr. Dogan, who also happens to be my uncle, has spent the last 30 years visiting developing countries implementing dental care and hygiene programs. When he discovered we have a fully equipped dental room at Sri Ram Medical Clinic he arranged funding through Harvard University for two students to visit to provide dental care for our children and staff. Dr. Dogon, Sirena and Julia worked liked champs examining, treating and providing preventative treatment for 10 straight days. Meena, who is completing her final year of dental technician school, was their hands on devoted daily helper. All three patiently supported her questions and included her in all their sessions. What a fabulous opportunity for Meena who plans to pursue a career in the dental field. Thank you Dr. Dogon, Sirena and Julia for your gift of time and expertise, our children’s smiles are all the brighter for it.
