diplomatic corps, clergy and regulatory bodies will be
converging at an award ceremony in pursuit of a common
cause to support the Smile Makeover program of selected
Nigerians afflicted with dental defects and flaws.
Tagged Project Smile 3.0 with a parallel theme as the World
Oral Health Day 2015- ‘Smile for life!’, the award ceremony &
fund raising event is designed to host selected influential
individuals from various spheres of life to support the dental
makeover treatment of candidates who made it through the
final clinical screening and evaluation exercise from among
the hundreds of entries recorded in the Project Smile 3.0
Smile Makeover Contest.
The event scheduled to hold on Saturday, July 4 at the Civic
Centre will be hosted by IK Osakioduwa, renowned anchor of
the Big Brother Reality TV Show. Some of the guests
expected include dentistry-trained cum ace music artiste, Dr.
Sid; TemiDollface; Tonye Garrick; Vice-President of the
Nigerian Dental Association, Dr. Funmi Ashiwaju; and many
others from the corporate sphere. The event will be the first
of its kind in the dental healthcare and corporate social
responsibility landscape in Nigeria.
According to Dr. Amy Traore-Shumbusho, Initiator, Project
Smile, the award ceremony will mark a major milestone in
the project phases of the initiative in that it is the first time
there would be an event which gives opportunity for wider
participation of other stakeholders to exercise and activate
their philanthropic values and policies either entrenched in
personal mission or corporate strategy.
“Following two seasons, it became imperative to restructure
the third season to accommodate wider participation of
individuals in addition to the corporate support structure that
has been in place; hence we introduced the ‘Adopt-a-Smile’
initiative within the ambits of the project. This was
necessitated by the need to ensure that more of the
candidates will be beneficiaries of the program beyond the
three stipulated winners. To this end, we have secured the
participation of some dental clinics such as Smile Dental in
Abuja and Family Dental Care in Lagos to support the
initiative with expertise and clinical practice during the smile
makeover phase. At the event, we expect guests to support
with financial pledges to booster the chances of
beneficiaries aside the three main winners.” Dr. Amy
explained.
Project Smile 3.0 is currently supported by Oral-B, Cool TV,
Wazobia TV, Ikeja City Mall and Pathcare.
