We're proud to present Voice of OC reporter and UCI Journalism Professor feature on Fana Global Foundation's Children's Wellness program at Oak View Elementary School of Huntington Beach:

The instructions that Shohreh Hejazi gives are precise: “Turn the tooth brush to a 45-degree angle. Now brush along the gum line. See? Like this …"

Hejazi, a dental hygienist, is seated at a table with three kids and one mother in a classroom at Oak View Elementary School in Huntington Beach. After her demonstration, she hands a toothbrush and a set of larger-than-life dentures to 11-year-old Nancy and says, “Show me how you brush.”

Nancy complies, scraping the teeth in delicate circles.

“Nancy,” Hejazi then says in a stern voice. “Do you promise to brush?”

Nancy nods solemnly.

Hejazi is one of a group of Orange County volunteers inspired by a mystic poet from the 13th century, who are offering wellness classes every Tuesday afternoon and evening to students and families in Oak View, a low-income community in Huntington Beach.
