627. Pope receives the TURMA DO BEM, largest network of volunteer dentists in the world

As it has done since becoming pontiff, the pope Francisco yesterday broke the rules of the Vatican in the audience who received the largest network of volunteer dentists in the world, the TURMA DO BEM, alongside heads of state and religious organizations. Dismissed the restricted Sala São Paulo and welcomed the 348 delegations in St. Peter's Square, crowded by 100,000 people.
Friendly and smiling, she kissed children, rang true, spoke to pilgrims. After the catechesis that invited everyone, on World Environment Day, to change the culture of waste disposal and the culture of solidarity and meeting, blessed faithful and received bishops and guests. Among them, two of the 23 representatives of the TURMA DO BEM: Fabio Bibancos, founder and winner of the Social Entrepreneur Award 2006 partnership leaf with the Schwab Foundation, and Osvaldo Magro Filho, elected world's best dentist for the non-governmental organization for the impact of their work.
You are very good, pray for me, the Pope said the Bibancos, who reported to Francis that the organization has 14 000 volunteer dentists in 11 countries and has served 38,000 children and youth. See dentists being respected in this way was beautiful, Bibancos said. Even if you are not Catholic, it is a power of faith, of hope.
Also thrilled, Magro Filho said the expectation is to multiply the social technology. It's time for society to roll up our sleeves and rescue solidarity.
