“Underprivileged children struggle to have access to basic needs like food, clothing and shelter. Once these needs are met, they will be able to focus on larger goals, including that of education. However, concepts like dental hygiene remain so far out of their world, that they either treat it as a luxury or not important at all.” said Dr Geetanjali Chopra, Founder and President of Wishes and Blessings.
With the mission to spread a smile, promote education, nurture good health, offer support and create opportunity, the Dental Check-Up Camp was concluded by distributing the dental kits and stationery hampers to the underprivileged kids.
