Stories of Nepal: Tope
"At the age of 10, I had become an orphan. Soon after, I quit school to meet the demands of the fields. And at 12, in hope to find a better life, I ran away from home."
"In the blink of an eye, we can all make a difference."
— Maggie Doyne, BlinkNow Co-Founder

Een gezond gebit in een gezond lichaam
Voor veel scholieren van de Kopila Valley School is het niet vanzelfsprekend hun tanden te poetsen voordat zij naar school gaan. Een groot aantal kinderen komt dan ook binnen met nare tandheelkundige problemen, zoals pijn door gaatjes, ontstoken tandvlees of missende tanden en kiezen. Hetgeen als vanzelfsprekend ook van invloed is op de algemene gezondheid. Ouders kunnen zich tandenborstels en tandpasta voor het hele gezin simpelweg niet veroorloven.

Healthy teeth in a healthy body
For many students at Kopila Valley, brushing their teeth was not a daily habit before they were admitted to school. A large number of children show up to class with severe dental problems, including pain because of cavities, inflamed gums, or missing teeth, which unfortunately also affects their general health. Many of the students' guardians often can't afford toothbrushes and toothpaste for the whole family. Fortunately, dental hygiene is one of our favorite subjects at Kopila!
