Global Grins, a California nonprofit that delivers toothbrushes to impoverished and disadvantaged people worldwide, has donated 100,000 toothbrushes to a U.S. Navy mission.
The USNS Mercy departs San Diego in April on the Pacific Partnership humanitarian mission to Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Indonesia.
Hundreds of international volunteers, including doctors and dentists, will travel to Southeast Asia on board the Mercy to treat people in need of medical and dental care and to deliver the toothbrushes.
Anyone with travel plans who wants to add a meaningful dimension to their trip is encouraged to contact Global Grins to receive a box of 100 toothbrushes to take with them and deliver to an orphanage, clinic, school, hospital, or shelter at their destination.
