Description:
Dr. Les Ennis will take you on a visual journey of his recent humanitarian dental outreach clinics to rural Tanzania and on safari to experience the incredibly diverse wildlife across this nation. Along with the serious side, his images will give you insight into the Tanzanian people and country with humour and wit. Dr. Ennis has been organizing dental outreach clinics for over 14 years, treating children around the world with a local group of dentists, the Semiahmoo Dental Outreach Team. The need for health care amongst third world populations is massive and their access to dental care is virtually non-existent. This session will dive into the causes of dental disease in these impoverished populations, the implications both socially and to health, and what interventions can achieve to help mitigate this epidemic. Through his photography, you will visually experience the philanthropic aspects of these humanitarian health outreaches: the clinic, the team working, the patients as they are being treated and in their everyday lives in rural Tanzania. Africa is different. It smells different, feels different and looks different. It is magical. The people of Tanzania are warm, friendly, welcoming, and extremely family focused. Then there are the animals… Buckle up! Dr. Les Ennis graduated from UBC Dental School in 1987 and has been practicing general and family dentistry in White Rock/South Surrey for over 36 years.
