BUVSDA Spreads Holiday Cheer at YMCA
Members of the Boston University chapter of the Vietnamese Student Dental Association (BUVSDA), lead by chapter president Arnold Nguyen DMD 12 and CHP Oral Health Promotion Director Kathy Lituri volunteered at the Annual Holiday Party at the Wang YMCA in Chinatown on Sunday, December 12.
Volunteers set up two tables with oral health activities for the children and information and toothbrushes for both parents and children. In total, nearly 800 people attended the party.
“The holiday party was a terrific occasion for the BUVSDA to be a part of,” said Nguyen. “The kids were very interactive and enthusiastic in learning more about their oral health and I am glad that we were given an opportunity to volunteer in such a great event.”
“I especially want to thank Arnold for all of his help in putting this together,” said Lituri. “This is a really fun event and one that the BUVSDA has participated in often over the last decade.” She continued, “I am confident that each of the volunteers had a positive impact on many of the children as well as their parents.”
Other student volunteers included Ben Pham DMD 12, Tim Ngork DMD 12, and Marcus Ngai DMD 12.
