The Senate Speaker joins ECOFO NDAGANO in awareness-raising on oral health

Monday, November 02, 2020, the Senate Speaker, Rt. Honorable Emmanuel SINZOHAGERA, enhanced with his presence the awareness raising ceremonies of the school children of the Basic School of NDAGANO, Nyambuye hill of the ISARE commune, in the province of Bujumbura, on oral Health.

Those ceremonies consisted of educating first and second year schoolchildren to brush, in the morning and evening, after eating, to have healthy teeth.

They were initiated by a local association “Bu Dental Mission” which also distributed toothpastes and toothbrushes to the latter for family use.

Shortly after the awareness-raising, Rt. Honorable SINZOHAGERA in his statement thanked the association “BU Dental Mission” for its noble mission to take care of oral health for those schoolchildren. He advised the children of this school to follow the advice they had just received from that association and to always study hard.

To deal with the lack of books for teachers, Rt Honorable SINZOHAGERA promised to make photocopies available. He added that other problems plaguing the school will be gradually resolved by the communal administration in collaboration with the communal education directorate.

In order to fight Covid-19, the Senate Speaker gave soaps to the children who had just followed the oral health awareness campaign so that they could continue to clean their homes.
