Build It and They Will Come!

We’ve had an amazing trip so far!  We set up our clinic and were blessed to have a Haitian dentist with us!  This is amazing because he speaks the language of the people and of dentistry!  Dr. Jean Louis is a doctor and faculty at both schools and he has a great heart for the people!  We also had a brand new graduate join us this week in our clinic too.  We’re so blessed on this trip!

Most of the patients we’ve treated have never been to a dentist before.  We’ve saw over 70 patients on our first day!  Periodontal disease is running rampant here, but the people are so grateful to have someone here to help. 

Haiti is such a different world.  We met a new friend tonight who is an Underground Railroad leader here in Haiti.  Haiti is #3 in the world for human trafficking.  We’re so thankful we have connections here on the ground who know more of how to help with this major issue!

April 2017: Exciting Trip to Haiti

It's been a super 48 hours as we got ready for yet another trip to Haiti!  Last night we traveled to Miami and arrived in Port-au-Prince about mid-morning Thursday.

Today, we have an important meeting with the dean of the University of Haiti Dental School, Dr. Samuel Prophete.  We have collected many important dental items from fellow dentists, corporations, and well-wishers to give to the dental school. Thank you to all who have helped us bless them!

Next stop after this is to set up a clinic in the center of Port-au-Prince.  We'll be seeing many, many people in our dental clinic.  Long days, but rewarding days ahead!


We're dedicating this trip to Gary and Deb Rolph who were in a serious motorcycle accident six months ago.  Gary and Deb both serve on the board of Believe in Haiti and Gary had his first moments back in Colorado yesterday afternoon after recovering for many months at a rehab center in Omaha.  They are instrumental in the caring of hundreds of people and we are so excited to have them back home in Colorado!  We're thinking of you, Gary and Deb, while we're down here in Haiti this week!
