WINNIPEG, Canada – Winnipeg Dentist, Dr. Alex Serebnitski, who works at EK Dental at 807 Henderson Highway, is proud to announce that he is now in his seventh year of helping Health Outreach deliver important medical and dental help in Guatemala.
Dr. Alex Serebnitski is passionate about helping as many people as possible with their dental problems, particularly those who would not usually have access to it or be able to afford dental treatment.
When it comes to dental health in Guatemala, the main issue that Dr. Alex Serebnitski and his colleagues see is chronically infected teeth in both adults and children. The story always seems to unfold in the same manner: Small cavities develop but are undetected. These progress unnoticed until they cause a severe toothache. Because the patient is unable to afford primary dental care, they put up with the pain until the tooth dies. The pain often subsides to a low-level ache, and the dental team of Health Outreach found that most people accept this discomfort without realizing that infection persists in their jaws.
“I feel blessed and honoured to have an excellent job, helping people with their dental needs,” said Dr. Alex Serebnitski of EK Dental. “However, I have always been very conscious of the fact that not everyone can afford dental treatment, and I had a burning desire to help those people who found themselves in that situation. Once I discovered Health Outreach, I knew this was the organization I wanted to work with, and I cannot believe that I have been doing this for over seven years now. I have no intention of stopping, and look forward to helping many more people in the future”.
In Guatemala, the absence of infrastructure leads to a high incidence of gastrointestinal and respiratory illnesses in children. There is often only one ill-equipped health post in each community. A nurse usually attends to the entire population. For serious illnesses, people must travel several kilometers to a hospital in Guatemala City – that’s another reason Health Outreach is necessary there.
Health Outreach is a group of health care providers dedicated to overseas charity projects. Their work responds to people around the world in need of healthcare – care that members can easily provide when given the opportunity. The organization is a non-profit and non-denominational international health organization based in Toronto, Canada.

History of mooncake moulds and their designs, and those preserving the craft
As symbolic of the Mid-Autumn Festival as the legend of Chang’e and the Jade Rabbit, mooncakes have a history dating back centuries, with their first mention during the Song dynasty (960-1279) in author Wu Zimu’s Dreaming of Grain. Early mooncakes were a far cry from the creative and intricate designs we see today. The rudimentary cakes were flat and round, with a thin outer crust and fillings such as lotus seed paste or the auspicious five kernels. During the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368),...
HERITAGE MONTH: CELEBRATING SOUTH AFRICA’S EVOLVING CUISINES
If it’s September, it’s Heritage Month in South Africa. A time when the traditions, stories and values that shape our shared identity fall under the spotlight. And for many, few things say heritage quite like food. It sits at the heart of any celebration, bringing us together around the dishes we cook, share and pass on. So, what does South African heritage taste like? Ask ten people, and you may get ten different answers. Pap and morogo. A Durban curry. Potjiekos. Bobotie. Vetkoek. Koeksisters. Perhaps the unmistakable smell and taste of a braai.

Cureau took the news so calmly that even his doctor was a little surprised. But he admits that, at the time, he did not fully understand what liposarcoma was....

Milan Fashion Week: Prada spring/summer 2027 spotlights the skirt, the brand’s ‘obsession’

Back in 2005, the brand held a blockbuster exhibition at the Peace Hotel in Shanghai. Named “Waist Down”, the show was a celebration of the skirt, a closet staple that was also the centrepiece of the label’s spring/summer 2027 collection, unveiled on Tuesday at Milan Fashion Week.

Manga mania: how Japanese comics conquered the world
“The Japanese are thrilled by the growing appreciation for manga around the world – that it’s now read from Saudi Arabia to France to the US – and all at the same time,” enthuses Nicole Rousmaniere, founder of the UK’s Sainsbury Institute for the Study of Japanese Arts and Cultures at the University of East Anglia. “Manga is becoming a universal language.” Certainly the distinctive imagery of the Japanese graphic novel tradition is increasingly finding its way from page to museum wall....
