U.S. Army Civil Affairs Soldiers conduct oral hygiene class in We’a, Djibouti
Djiboutian girls lean in to pay attention to an oral hygiene class led by U.S. Army Soldiers with the Civil Affairs Functional Specialty Team, Southern European Task Force – Africa, and hosted in partnership with the Association des Femmes de We’a in We’a, Djibouti, Aug. 11, 2021. The class served to establish and reinforce proper dental health care, both informing children on how to prevent oral decay and equipping teachers with further knowledge to pass on throughout the community and future generations. These classes are part of the Department of Defense’s Women, Peace and Security initiative, which aims to promote the safety, equality and meaningful contributions of women around the world, and positively affect local community organizations while enriching foreign relationships.
