ADSO Gets in the Holiday Spirit

Asian Dental Student Organization (ADSO), in collaboration with the school’s Division of Community Health Programs (CHP) volunteered at the Wang YMCA annual holiday party on Sunday, December 11.

Volunteers hosted two tables: one with oral health activities and information and the other with complimentary toothbrushes. About 700 families attended this event. Michelle Vo DMD 13 and Tam Nguyen DMD 13 organized the volunteer effort for ADSO. Other volunteers included: Trinh Vo DMD 13; Jared Chung DMD 12; Mary Chau DMD 12; Alanna Yip DMD 14; Andrea Lam from the Boston Public Health Commission; Michelle Vo’s fiancé, Ca Vay Ip; and CHP Oral Health Promotion Director Kathy Lituri.

“My favorite part of the event was being able to give back to the surrounding Asian communities and playing games with the children that taught them the importance of oral health,” said Michelle Vo.
