Bridge 2 Aid : 'Restoring Smiles - Changing Lives'

'I personally performed the opening ceremony for Hope Dental Centre and have been pleased with the subsequent reports showing how funds have been used directly to both improve dental services in Mwanza Region and support the marginalised street communities of Mwanza town and Bukumbi care village.

'Bridge2Aid and Hope Dental Centre have taken care to work in partnership with the Government, Ministries of Health and Social Welfare. I commend their work in Tanzania.'
Hon. Daniel Ole Njoolay - Former Regional Commissioner, Mwanza. February 2006

'The success [of the Bridge2Aid RCO Training Programmes] has been brought about by the friendly co-operation between myself, Dr Ian Wilson, the Regional Medical Officer and the Regional Commissioner. The Bridge2Aid programmes have been a great help in the promotion of oral health in Mwanza and the nation as a whole.'
Dr Joseph Nyanda - Regional Dental Officer, Mwanza. July 2006

'Hope Dental Centre is a beacon initiative in how dental services and training should be developed, not only in Tanzania, or Africa but anywhere in the world when access to dental care is challenging. I am proud of the great enthusiasm, commitment and desire to serve the local population of all those who have helped in establishing this centre.'
