GMAKF Brings New Smiles, New Beginnings One hundred twenty-two (122) - that’s the number of beaming faces that the GMAKF has brought to life with its annual “Ngiting Kapuso” project last February. In support of Oral Health month, GMAKF partnered with the Philippine Dental Association and the Philippine Association of Private School Dentists to provide new sets of complete or partial dentures to select Kapuso beneficiaries. The project is part of the Foundation’s medical assistance program, Bisig Bayan, which provides free medicines and medical services to indigent beneficiaries afflicted with various ailments. Ngiting Kapuso recognizes the importance of having dentures to boost one’s confidence and self-esteem. GMAKF EVP and COO Mel C. Tiangco views this as an opportunity to make small changes with a big impact. “Uplifting the lives of our countrymen does not only mean effecting change on a grand scale. With projects like Ngiting Kapuso, we can see how putting back the smiles on the faces of the beneficiaries makes them more confident and opens doors to more opportunities,” she says. The project gave full dentures to 92 patients and partial dentures to 30 patients. All patients were screened and fitted for their dentures in a series of clinic sessions held throughout February. The beneficiaries also attended lectures on how to take care of their new dentures.
