Dental Clinic

Doctor Chuck Tozzer checks out Jimmy's teeth in the courtyard of the Pre-school where the dental clinic was held. His bad front teeth look great now and he's smiling.

Some of our guys waiting their turn to be seen by the dental team.

A student dentist, Wilson (from Peru), assisted by Kens works on one of the kids.

We have been graced with the presence of three dedicated dentists this week.  Alan set up all the equipment and did triage this week so the docs could come in and they did at full force!  What a gift they have been to us!  Most of our children have never seen a dentist so imagine the work that was done.  This is just the beginning!  To Doctor Tozzer who has made this happen:  THANK YOU VERY, VERY MUCH !!

Every day the small clinic at Castel-Pere sends some of our kids here to LaMadonne for lab work or dental care. We have to get them over to the lab or dental office. You can see why having our own lab to determine if they have malaria, typhoid, parasites... would be to everyone's advantage. We are working on getting a small dental clinic so that we can catch the cavities before extraction is the only option.

Day One: Dan, below, and Andy, top, after just finishing cutting a doorway into the side of a container. There will be two containers of 40 foot lengths with a courtyard in between.
