Thu Duc Youth Village is a shelter that nurtures orphans and children in difficult circumstances. The "Vi nu cuoi tre tho" program not only taught the children about proper oral care and provided dental check-ups, but also brought joy, sharing, and laughter to the shelter through group activities and surprise gifts.

More than 100 children at Thu Duc Youth Village were examined and advised on oral health by doctors and students from the Faculty of Dentistry. 

VLU's Mobile Dental Clinic ensured professional and effective dental examinations and treatments." In addition, the children took part in educational oral health activities through games and plays.

This was a chance for the students to apply their knowledge in real-world situations, improving their communication and dental treatment skills. 

Ngo Xa Binh San, a Dentistry Course 27 student, shared: “This was my first real-life experience. Initially, I was a bit nervous, but with the support and encouragement from lecturers and friends, I quickly adapted and learned a lot.” By assisting the doctors, San gained valuable knowledge in examination and diagnosis. She understood that the practical working environment is the best place for health students to hone their knowledge and skills.

The program not only provided dental care but also allowed students to connect and share their love with the children. 

Tran Duong Hanh Khoa, a Dentistry Course 26 student, said: “The program was not only meaningful, but it also left a beautiful memory on my journey to becoming a compassionate doctor. Communicating and connecting with children is a challenge, but seeing their bright smiles and sparkling eyes as they learn about dental health is a great motivation for me to stay strong on my path to becoming a dentist.”
