PNG’s First Lady, Linda Babao- O’Neil also present at the event encouraged mothers, saying they are children’s first teachers and they shape the way the children will act for the rest of their lives.

‘’So mum you first, you are the first teacher for your children and you are responsible for their good habit of making sure that they have clean healthy teeth,” she said.

This campaign also complements the bright smile bright future campaign, where today 7000 Colgate starter kits were distributed to health clinics in Port Moresby and additional 5000 kits to be distributed to 20 urban clinics and hospital around the country. PNGFM/ONEPNG
