YWAM Medical Ships Papua New Guinea.

SBBF and YWAM share a common goal and vision, to better the lives of Papua New Guineans.  We are thrilled to continue our partnership with YWAM Medical Ships in PNG to continue their School Dental Program which includes oral Health Education sessions and restoring teeth so the students can focus on their studies and improve their confidence and reduction in pain.

Partnering together as YWAM launch the YWAM MS Dental Trailer pilot outreach program a team of dentists from YWAM Medical Ships visited Sevese Morea Primary School in NCD to perform a number of dental health procedures. Many children were unable to concentrate in class due to pain and were previously unable to receive dental care. The dental team performed examinations, cleanings, restorations, fluoride treatments, and extractions as needed on the students to look after their smiles.

All students in all grade levels received oral health and nutrition education, empowering them to take care of their oral health and overall health. Additionally, students received Colgate Bright Smiles packs including toothbrushes and toothpaste.

    Over 5 full days,

  • 132 students received treatment
  • 232 dental procedures were provided
  • 400 students received oral health education

This pilot outreach was created to establish the best process and procedures for the program with a goal for the program to be rolled out to more Port Moresby schools in the future.

In February 2019, the Sir Brian Bell Foundation donated a125kva Staunch Genset, 440V, 60Hz Generator, with FPT engine. “We at the Sir Brian Bell Foundation are committed wholeheartedly to bettering the lives of Papua New Guinean.

“Thank you for the incredible work that the YWAM team do each and every day in Papua New Guinea.” commented Sir Brian Bell Foundation CEO, Ms. Bronwyn Wright. Brian Bell Group, Herbert Ramos, Electrical Sales Engineer/Manager, together with Robert Joku, Industrial Sales Manager, delivered and installed the generator aboard the YWAM Ship docked at Motukea Wharf in Port Moresby.

We are thrilled to be able to support this program and we look forward to continuing this partnership further in the next few years.
