In late August 2017, the Rotary Club of Cebu East held a dental mission at the CARE Center in Cordova. The club published its report the next day, on 28 August 2017.
The mission took place on Sunday, 27 August. Dentists from Southwestern University gave their time, and the report says they provided dental care to over 100 children. CARE, the Cordova Alternative Resource for Education, lent its facilities and helped organize the day. The club thanked Teacher Maricor for her help.
The report includes photographs of the mission and names the Cebu East Rotarians who were there: George Yao, Antonio Chua, Carmino Ferandos, Tom McKinley, Dr. Wilbert Uykingtian and Nick Tajale. Tom McKinley was the club president at the time.
Dental missions like this one fall under Rotary's area of focus on disease prevention and treatment. In the years around this visit, the club also reported dental missions in Compostela, Alumnos, Inayawan, Pardo, Punta Princesa, Taptap and Oslob.
