Day Three - Blessings & Joys

Wrapping up clinic day #3 is bittersweet because this was our last day in St. Roch.  Yet, we were able to see and help so many people!  We were able to see all of those who had received tickets, and then also dozens of drop-ins (including 17 orphans at the end of the day).

Today was much calmer as we established three main areas.  The need for dental care here is very high.  Most have never seen a dentist EVER.  As you can guess, there are many dental health issues related to this fact.


We are on the move now.  We packed up our clinic into two SUV's and moved on to the clinic in Gracier, Haiti where we will be serving with Respire Haiti.  This was a 1.5 hour drive and we're really excited to start serving the students in the school here.

Smiles Along The Way!

Here's me with Wayne, an orphan graduate.  This was his first dental visit at age 24 and had deeply infected gums.  He'll be able to keep his teeth for a lot longer now!

Tanya, a three year old from a Haitian mountain village.  She and her younger brother were dropped off at the orphanage two weeks ago.  She was so sweet!

Someone had to help entertain the kiddos while they waited!

It's a team effort!

Normal sightings along the road.
