Teethsavers one month in Morocco, in 2009, by invitation of "Operation Smile Morocco", Abdou Jbara, founder and director, I taught 42 dentists Six-Year Molar Focus Prevention and ART intervention.

Smile Morocco is much more that the world-wide "Operation Smile" treating cleft lip and cleft palate needing expert surgery. They occupy a big and most organized, with ample full-time employees in a three story building in Casablanca, treating all children oral health care needs.

A daily interpreter, most days was Abouhanifa Soukaina, a beautiful young woman University student, English to French or Arabic, a necessity for all day sessions with 5 to 8 dentist per day.

Two outreach programs were done with the employees of Operation Smile Morocco as dental assistants for the many dentists traveling to other areas of Morocco. One outreach was to Marachish where I enjoyed the true Arabic way of life and returned to Casablanca on a train.

Abdou Jbara, funished me a fully equipped apartment with everything one may need in the heart of downtown Casablanca which in itself was a daily adventure.
