Several years ago, my grandfather, a retired dentist hoping to use his skills to help people across the globe, loaded as many suitcases as the airline would allow. He packed PPE, medical equipment and dental supplies and began the long voyage to Kabale, Uganda to set up a dental clinic in a local hospital. He returned several more times, each time bringing additional supplies with him.

Today, I want to help further the efforts of the hospital and dental clinic that he started there.

I know that we can make an immediate impact by purchasing a washing machine for the hospital.

Our Lady of Health Hospital in Kabale, Uganda washes all of the laundry from the hospital beds by hand and dries them on these clothes lines. Most of the patients at the hospital are maternity patients, leading to many soiled linens. Women from the village, mostly volunteers, wash all of the linens by hand and then hang them to dry.

A washing machine would assist these volunteers with the physical labor required to wash the bed sheets and further protect the health of these volunteers that battle life threatening diseases like AIDS and Ebola.

Bright Smiles has been in contact with the president of the hospital to insure that the water has space, access to water and electricity to immediatly install and use the washer.

Please help support the hospital and the people of Kabale with a donation to purchase a new washing machine.
