Gina's Dental Ministry

The newly built Cuatro Community Center in Sitio Dilain, Valley Golf in Cainta Rizal is a 3-storey building where it houses 3 classrooms alternating for Preparatory, Kinder, Grade 1 and 2.
On the ground floor, aside from the faculty office, there's also a mini-kitchen where volunteer cook from the community prepares lunch daily to be distributed to all students and school staff for free. At the right side of the building is a dental clinic (front photo) equipped with 2 dental chairs.
The second storey serve as one big classroom during weekdays and a huge worship place for the christian community during Sundays. While the 3rd floor is an open area enclosed with steel fences and serve as the activity center for kids and basketball court for the adult.

The center opened just in time for the start of school year where almost 60 students enrolled and 26 of them came from nearby New Faith Family Children's Home, an orphanaged house.

Dra. Gina was hired by Mr. Jeff Long of Faith Academy, to supervise the dental clinic for the purpose of serving the community. He also served as the director of New Faith Family Children's Home and president of Kids International Ministries (www.kidsinternationalministries.org/).

Seen in this photo is Mr. Jeff Long with doctors Gina and Deanne during their Dental Mission held last Sept. 20, 2007. The one-day dental mission treated and extracted more than 50 patients, adults and kids and received free toothbrush each.

Aside from Cuatro Community Center, Dra. Gina is also scheduled to visit the Arthur Center in Everlast Compound near Kingsville along Sumulong Hi-way in Antipolo, every Fridays.

Dra. Gina treated a young patient from Arthur Center during one of her clinic days in the area.

The kids from Arthur Center were beeing taught on how to properly brush their teeth with their new toothbrush as giveaways.

The Arthur Center is being managed by a young American missionary, Daniel Bucher with the help of filipino couple, and their work is also related to Mr. Jeff Long's ministry.
