Preparation for the next patient.

Another happy patient from the KISE school.

An evening spent handing out
toys to all the children.

which caters for children with special needs
and disabilities. The dentists were welcomed
with flowers and cards from the children.
Thirty-six children were screened with the help
of the staff. The team also gave toothbrushes
and toothpaste to all the children and carried
out simple oral hygiene advice.
After lunch, we visited and screened the
120 children at the AKAAB school for the
blind, which is based just outside the town of
Mirpur. We were surprised to note that not
as many of the children needed treatment as
expected. This educational facility was headed
by a blind professor of English and helped
children and young adults ages 6-22. Again,
this establishment was mainly run on private
donations from across Pakistan and the UK.
We were given a tour of the whole facility
from the deputy head teacher, who also was
blind. He showed us the well-thought-out
and designed building specifically catering
for blind children. We saw how the children
learned to read Braille in Urdu and English.
It was astonishing to see how these children
had achieved so much in academia but also

entering sports, music and talent events
throughout Kashmir and Pakistan.
The head of the institute discussed his
passion to build such a place, which was the
only one of its kind in the whole area.
We were told that before a school like this,
most children who were born blind had no
future and at best some would become shoe
cleaners or bread mixers. The rest would
mostly be forced into begging on the streets
unless they were born into a wealthy family.
Some children who had attended this
school had gone on to become teachers, work
in banking and finance and government jobs.
The effect the staff and school had on these
children was amazing and humbling to see.
In the evening we held an event at the
hotel, with the help of our local dentist, the
orphanage and friends of the charity who had
helped us for the past two years. Lecture topics
included oral cancer, hepatitis, orthodontics,
trauma and an introduction to the Hall crown
technique.
The event was attended by 60 people
including general dentists, professors/academics
from university, general medical practitioners,
those involved with healthcare commissioning
from the local government, lay people, dental
assistants and students.
The event was recorded live from a news
team and broadcast around the local area
and online. We explained the intentions of
our charity and how we work together with
people from Kashmir and Pakistan to help
improve health and dental care.
We explained that we could improve
together as a profession and ultimately reduce
dental disease, raise awareness and also aim
to reduce the transmission of blood-borne
viruses. The event ended with presentation
