Globe Wins Outstanding Cover Award in USA Section’s Journalism Competition This is the second time The Globe has been singled out for one of dentistry’s most prestigious journalism awards, and the fourth award for Editor Sydney. “Thank you for selecting The Globe for the Cover of the Year Award, in the 44th annual USA Section Journalism Award Competition. Every year I review literally hundreds of photographs from amazing ICD programs, from around the world, for our journal. When I saw this photograph, I knew it would be the focus of our cover”, noted Dr. Dov Sydney, Editor-in-Chief of The Globe, in response to the selection. Dr. Sydney went on to explain the background of the photograph: “The young girl in the center spends 20 hours a day begging on the streets of Cambodia, excruciatingly vulnerable to nefarious elements in their midst and in constant fear of abuse or worse. A life of poverty and despair, robbed of childhood innocence. Often without parents to rely on, the street children learn to depend on each other, as seen in this picture, holding one another’s hands for support. For many who visit the ICD facility, this will be the first time they discover true sanctuary from the evils and indifferences outside. In the world created by College volunteers there is tranquility; hands that harm are replaced by welcoming hands that hold and talented hands that heal. In the eyes of this young girl is something I’ve observed repeatedly in the eyes and faces of beneficiaries of ICD kindness throughout the world, an unmistakable air of serenity and security not just from receiving the appreciated dental care, but because they have found that there is hope and goodness in humankind from compassionate ICD volunteers. We all share the pride in the hundreds of educational and humanitarian programs provided by our College and colleagues. With this recognition and our expanded global electronic outreach, thousands more around the world will soon hear the story of the ICD and better understand who we are.”

ICD USA Section Endorses Operation: Stand Down, Continued been to find a suitable building in a large city, recruit 100 dentists and another 100 volunteers, and service 1,000 or more people over a three-day weekend. As I considered the needs of the veterans we served in La Porte for Operation: Stand Down, I felt we could incorporate what we learned in La Porte and modify the Wisconsin and Ohio MOM concepts to conduct “mini-MOM” projects all over the state, with local dentists and their dental teams, along with other volunteers, to treat Indiana’s veterans. With the success of the event in La Porte, I truly believe the model we used can be a framework for serving Indiana veterans in more efficient ways than those currently available. I presented my conclusions and the concept to the IDA’s charitable care committee and the Board of Trustees and am honored to have received their approval to move forward. I cannot help but ponder what we, as the torchbearers of organized dentistry, can pursue to expand or adapt the La Porte event to provide care statewide. I know my Indiana colleagues are equally willing and equipped to meet the needs of our Hoosier brothers and sisters in need. Other IDA leaders and I will be working to challenge our members, dental suppliers, component foundations, and other groups to begin considering how they can contribute to the oral health of those in serious need. The ICD USA Section Board of Regents endorsed the Operation: Stand Down program during our May 2017 Meeting. I invite Fellows throughout the country to join in.

Attitudes among the hospital staff and school teachers towards Ebino ranged from vague familiarity, ridicule of the practice, to denial of its existence; all depending on where they grew up. One evening she interviewed a local Abafumu of great renown named Warren, who doubles as a traditional musician at one of the nearby upscale lodges. To reach him she tentatively ascended the long, lantern-lit steps to the lodge and was rewarded to find an oasis of hospitality: an open-air restaurant and bar serving cold beer and exotic drinks to guests who pay upward of $600 per night.
