FREE DENTAL MISSION ENDED SUCCESSFULLY!

After four days of hard works to help the indigent people of Toril with their oral health our dental mission ended on December 30, 2010 successfully. One hundred eighty four (184) patients have benefited from the dental mission. Many were thankful because they can now sleep well at night without toothache. 

This dental mission will not be a successful one without the voluntary help of our dentists, Dr. Reinhold and Ute Fiegle and our own dentist Dr. Roslyn Tamay who made their best to extract the teeth of the patients whether its a simple or a complex extraction. Thanks to all the assistants who assisted the dentists during the mission. We would also like to emphasize our thanks to all the people who extended their help by giving dental needs to Dr. and Dra. Fiegle. Your help is heartily appreciated.    

Here are some of the photos taken during the dental mission...

FREE DENTAL MISSION STARTED!

At last, the day finally came where two of the most respective and one of the best dentists in Kressbronn is now in Toril. Dr. Reinhold and Ute Fiegle together with their children traveled more than 6,000 miles to perform a dental mission to the people of Toril. 

Last December 23, 2010 the dental mission started, where our dentists gave their 101% to help the people with their oral health. Due to numerous number of patients who came to KTEP building to avail the free dental the working hours of the dentists started at 8 o'clock in the morning and was extended until 7 o'clock in the evening. To be exact fifty four (54) patients has been accommodated with in that day and there will still be a follow up free dental on December 27, 28 and 30, 2010.  

The people who have benefited from this dental mission are very thankful especially the children.

They visited the flowing-water donated by Metaxxa and Cafe Fugunt, Mark and Steffi, Hopfen Museum of Tettnang, Altmusikanten of Kressbronn, Musikverein Kressbronn (during their first Philippine tour), and the flowing-water donated by the   town of Kressbronn. The pit stop of their water tour is the flowing-water donated by Frau Renate Fiegle.

CHRISTMAS IS IN THE AIR!

The Christmas decorations made by scholars together with their parents and the KTEP staff is finally finished. All the KTEP members were being united in accomplishing this task. The values of cooperation, creativity and resourcefulness are shown. Everyone loves to decorate at Christmas months before the holiday. They enjoyed decorating not only with star lanterns but also with all sorts of Christmas decors. They chose decorations made with local native materials. They made a Belen made of magazines, newspapers and old coconut leaves. They also made a big lovely Christmas tree with colorful lanterns hung on it. It was truly a unique one for it was made by one’s own hands. Stars, lanterns, Christmas trees and any other Christmas decorations add more loveliness to the building.

From all of us here in the Philippines we would like to greet you all a Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New year....

PARENTS, SCHOLARS AND STAFF DECORATES KTEP BUILDING!

Bayanihan is a Filipino word that means communal unity or effort to achieve a particular objective. Today, at exactly seven o’clock in the morning the parents, scholars and KTEP staff made a bayanihan to decorate the KTEP building with Christmas symbols. 

Everyone is so busy doing their decorations, a group of fathers are busy building the small belen while a group of mothers are also busy decorating their Christmas tree.The materials that they used are very simple and recyclable which can be found in everywhere. This is our way of reducing the garbage in our area.  Most of the materials that are being used are: old newspapers and magazines for making the belen, used straws of soft drinks, unused tie wires, old coconut tree leaves and of course the used anesthesia bottles from our dental clinic. Old of these will be used to create our Christmas decoration.

The finalization of the bayanihan will be done next week (Sunday) and will be posted here in KTEP website. 

Below are the pictures taken during the bayanihan….

While the others are busy these scholars are also busy in gardening.

PLAYING IS FUN!

KIGA playing cards and reading books

Playing is what the kids like most. It is the activity that took them a lot of pleasure and enjoyment. It is the most awaited time that they are waiting for. Everyday their teacher gives them time to spend in the playroom just to make them fun and relax after their class lessons. They are so much excited to finish their writings just to experience the happiest moment of time. They want to play all day long. Happiness is what we see in their faces when they are playing. It feels good when we hear them laughing and see them smiling.

KIGA MADE THEIR FIRST CHRISTMAS STAR!

That is why our kindergarten children are busy helping their teacher Maam Rose in decorating their class and play room by bringing lanterns and making paper stars that reminds us all that Christmas is coming! 

After their activity the children are off to play in their play room and some of them got tired and took some rest in their colorful cozy Dream World!
