POTSDAM -- The SUNY Potsdam AIDS Education Group (SUNY-PAEG) is holding its fourth bi-annual Toothbrushes for Malawi Drive again this fall in coordination with the Malawi Project.
The Malawi Dental Project at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill was created in 2004. It aims to educate Malawian school children about oral health and hygiene, as well as the HIV/AIDS epidemic and risks associated with the disease.
This year, the off-campus drive will occur Saturday, Oct. 22, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at both the Potsdam Public Library and the Potsdam Kinney Drugs branch on Maple Street across from Clarkson University.
The on-campus drive will be held Wednesday, Nov. 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Barrington Student Union lobby.
Due to the dental health issues affecting the Malawian population, only soft-bristled adult and pediatric toothbrushes and travel-sized tubes of toothpastes can be sent.
For more information about the drives or about PAEG, please contact Patricia Whelehan, campus AIDS education coordinator in the SUNY Potsdam Department of Anthropology, at either whelehepe@potsdam.edu, or 267-2048.
