GARDEN VALLEY, TX - Today is “Give Kids a Smile
Day.” While many dentists in the U.S. will
contribute time to provide free oral health care
services to children from low-income families
across the country, Mercy Ships volunteer dental
professionals are also doing the same and more in
Lomé, Togo, alongside the Africa Mercy, the
world’s largest privately owned hospital ship. In
essence, the dental team celebrates “Bring Kids a
Smile Day” everyday.
Dr. Doug Daehlin, from Spokane, Washington, is one of more than 400 Mercy Ships crew members, including dental team and oral/maxillofacial team members, who are currently volunteering their expertise in Togo. “While there are lots of opportunities to be a volunteer dentist around the world, I was immediately drawn to Mercy Ships. During my volunteer service, I will work side-by-side with dental colleagues from other parts of the U.S. and around the world. Our collaboration and exchange is an invaluable experience,” stated Dr. Daehlin.

Reverses decision to cut off abortion funds
Controversy has swirled around the fact that the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, which fights for the prevention of breast cancer, has been funding Planned Parenthood abortion clinics with funds collected from supporters.
On Tuesday of this week, Susan G. Komen cut off $680,000 in funding to 19 abortion clinics run by Planned Parenthood. The foundation had said the move was made because of a recent policy change that prohibited funding of organizations that are under investigation – like Planned Parenthood.

The U.S. Treasury Department announced that the
Obama Administration will borrow at least $644
billion from the market to fund government
programs and operations during the first six
months of 2012, according to a statement released
on Tuesday.
In spite of President Barack Obama's campaign putting a positive spin on conditions within the U.S. economy, this latest news is one more indication of a troubled country keeping its head above water, states economist George Leckster of Southwestern University.
"During the January-March 2012 quarter, Treasury expects to issue 444 billion dollars in net marketable debt, assuming an end- of-March cash balance of 30 billion dollars. This borrowing estimate is 97 billion dollars lower than announced in October 2011," the Treasury said in a statement.
