Reiterando que la primera infancia y el desarrollo integral de la niñez, es prioridad para el gobierno del Presidente @nayibbukele, tuvimos una maravillosa jornada llena de las sonrisas de las niñas y niños de la diáspora salvadoreña en Costa Rica😁🥰🇸🇻
Recientemente realizamos una visita a la sedede @UnspokenSmiles en 🇨🇷, quienes desarrollan un extraordinario trabajo para prevenir la caries infantil. Conversamos sobre potenciales acciones de cooperación, incluida una Jornada dental infantil para los niños de nuestra diáspora.
Gracias a @UnspokenSmiles en 🇨🇷 y su programa Cero Caries, nuestros niños recibieron atención dental gratuita y aprendieron técnicas profesionales para el cuidado y limpieza de sus dientes. También, disfrutaron de un convivio con deliciosas pupusas🇸🇻.
We are happy to announce the Presidential Leadership Scholars class of 2026!
The program's 11th cohort includes an accomplished group of 60 #PLScholars who share a passion for addressing our toughest challenges and creating lasting, positive change in our country and the world.
I'm excited to share that I’ve been selected to be a part of the newest class of #PLScholars! Throughout the @PLSprogram, I'll explore lessons learned during the administrations of George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George H.W. Bush, and Lyndon B. Johnson.
Proud moment for the @unspokensmiles community.

Every day, 11 million toothbrushes are sold worldwide. Easily available in most shops and online.
But not in #Gaza. There’s no shop, no cart, no toothbrush.
Access to basic hygiene must never be out of reach.
Please join us in giving a warm and heartfelt welcome to Priscilla Guerrero, our new Project Manager for the Zero Cavity Initiative!
Her leadership, compassion, and commitment to oral health education have already made waves — and we’re just getting started.

“For far too long, oral health has been overlooked in global health. No child should miss school due to pain. No community should be left behind.” @DirOPSPAHO Dr. Jarbas Barbosa shares a powerful message at tonight’s #oralhealth ECOSOC Youth Forum side event. @UnspokenSmiles
The panel begins! Dr. Monica Dominguez, Director of Global Oral Health Programs at Smile Train, @LevineCody25920 of Twice, and @jeanpaullaurent of @UnspokenSmiles share their innovative work alongside the ECOSOC Youth Forum.
🌟 Thank You, @DirOPSPAHO ! 🌟
You highlighted the huge burden & inequality of access to #oralhealth services in the @pahowho Americas region as a pressing issue which underscores importance of our collective efforts to ensure equitable access for all. https://t.co/dAmRDra7Hl
