Felipe Rossi is a Brazilian dentist whose main job is to ensure smiles stay perfect. Por1sorriso NGO is the name of his NGO which he formed in 2016, but what’s most interesting about that is he and his team fix poor people’s teeth for free.
This Brazilian dentist is a kind Samaritan, as he believes that his life should be dedicated to doing some good for the community. Interestingly, he is not just based in Brazil- his endeavors have led him to places like Kenya and Mozambique. Needless to say, his work takes him mostly to third world countries where he doesn’t charge them money for his services.
Terri Rimmer is one of the many patients that have been helped by this dentist. She spoke about her life was completely topsy-turvy prior to her getting surgery. She mentioned the times when she couldn’t take a proper picture because everyone was cajoling her to smile, and she couldn’t.
Rimmer further mentioned how being without teeth was such an impediment to her culinary habits. She couldn’t eat cherries or different forms of salads. She reached such a precarious stage that Rossi had to remove all of her teeth and bring in bones from a corpse. Yes, the surgery was difficult but the life she is living since then has been amazing.
