ShareHealth! Share your healthy smile
www.sharehealthukraine.weebly.com From experience most of us know how uncomfortable and even painful one cavity can be.

In Ukraine, 12- year- olds have an average of 4.4 bad permanent teeth and in Ecuador 3.3 bad permanent teeth in their mouths. Just imagine how much 4 bad teeth hurt! Unfortunately and in contrast to many other countries, there is no national program to prevent bad oral health in Ukraine and Ecuador. Our project approaches this problem by offering an early on, hands on education process to the pupils, so that bad teeth can be avoided. Our Project

The Share Health! Initiative produced an information video with primary school pupils from Oberkessach, Germany, in which the children explain why oral health care is important and how it should be put into effect. The video will be translated into Ukrainian and Russian and send to the Zmiev orphanage just outside the city of Kharkiv, Ukraine, as well as translated into Spanish and send to the Childrens Center "Gotitas de Luz" in Quito, Ecuador. The success of our project is not only based on the information we provide the Ukrainian and Ecuadorian pupils with, but also on the peer education process we employ. We hope the lasting relationship between the children will create an incentive to take oral hygiene seriously and to care for one’s teeth regularly. Moreover, we provide the opportunity for the Ukrainian and Ecuadorian pupils to put their newly acquired knowledge into action and to learn the skills to keep their teeth healthy. We will equip the children with a start- up- kit, containing toothpaste, a toothbrush and additional training and information material to ensure the lasting effect of the project. Your Impact

We are happy to pass on your donations in oral health care products to the children. Your Ukrainian or Spanish skills can help us facilitate the communication between the German, Ukrainian and Ecuadorian pupils. With your donations, we can produce a video of higher quality and provide more information and training material.

WHO Halves Dietary Recommendation for Sugar: Caries is one of the most common noncommunicable diseases, and it creates discomfort, pain, and eats up to 5% of the health
budget.

Put down that soda! New proposed WHO guideline for daily sugar intake is less than is found in a single soft drink.

Valentina taught the kids at School 167 in Kyiv, Ukraine how to keep their teeth health - both in theory and in practice! Biggest obstacle: finding enough pink toothbrushes for the girls who insisted those would work better than toothbrushes of a different color ;)

The ShareHealth project day nevertheless had a very happy ending - lots of happy faces, and lots of shiny clean teeth!

Of course, a school would be nothing without dedicated principals and teachers. A big thank you to the staff at School 167 in Kyiv, Ukraine for the great cooperation during the ShareHealth project day!

It's not always easy to get around to brushing your teeth. But if the guys in space can do it, we on earth should be able to do it, too!

HOW do you brush your teeth in space?

Listening in to the finals of the Resolution Project Social Venture Challenge - two years ago, it was us up there trying to convince the jury of the viability of our venture ShareHealth!, and now it's great to see how far we've come since succeeding in gaining their support then, and how much further we can go.

This week, it's "back to the roots" for ShareHealth - meeting the next generation of possible fellows of The Resolution Project at Harvard World Model United Nations in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia in the Social Venture Challenge, and looking back on how we started out just like them.

Cheap toothpaste 'as good as brand-name'!

Cheap toothpastes can be just as good as brand-name ones, a German watchdog said on Thursday, suggesting people could save nearly €30 a year and still have glorious gnashers.
