Montellano has been a partner of Mundo a Sorrir since it was founded in 2005. This year, the company’s support went to the national project C.A.S.O. Porto with equipment that the Association needed most.
“The population’s lack of equal access to oral health care is a social problem that should be worked on in partnership, from a social responsibility perspective, between institutions in the area and associations such as Mundo a Sorrir. There is and should be no competition in this area. There is no clubism, but a national team and I think I speak for everyone when I say that they are all called up. In the year of the Euro, this is a good ‘excuse’ for everyone to support this ‘game’,” said Bernardo Montellano, Managing Director of Montellano.
Two light bulbs for a curing machine, a water distiller, an ultrasound scaler, a turbine, and a contra-angle were given away. “We believe that the gift of this equipment will help Mundo a Sorrir generate more smiles in the most vulnerable population in the Porto region. Smiles that make us very proud and show us that we are on the right track!” continues Bernardo Montellano.
“During these 15 years at C.A.S.O Porto, we have helped around 6,900 people and have had the privilege of witnessing the positive impact of our intervention on their lives. To this day, we have carried out 37,913 consultations and 48,625 treatments. We hope to reach the 50th anniversary of C.A.S.O Porto as Montellano did. And I believe that if we have partners like Montellano, we’ll get there faster,” said Catarina Marinho, Coordinator of C.A.S.O. Porto.
Mariana Dolores, President of Mundo A Sorrir, added: “We’re proud to have reached this 15-year milestone. We continue to count on the support of volunteers, patrons and institutional partners such as Montellano, which has been with us since the beginning of Mundo a Sorrir in 2005, always with the commitment to bring oral health to people with the greatest socio-economic vulnerability.”
