NEW YORK, N.Y., USA: Henry Schein Inc. recently donated more than 1,000 toothbrushes and tubes of toothpaste from Colgate to children living in a Hue, Vietnam, orphanage. The donation — an initiative of Henry Schein Cares, the company’s global social responsibility program — was made in support of a two-week dental outreach trip conducted by a dozen high school students from the Manhattan-based Lycée Français de New York (LFNY).

LFNY organized the trip with Les Sampaniers, a France-based charity dedicated to serving underprivileged children in Vietnam.

During the trip, the LFNY students taught children at the orphanage dental hygiene, how to use toothpaste, and proper brushing technique. Pictured below are primary school students at the orphanage with their donated Colgate toothbrushes and toothpaste.
