God's Work in the Making: Dentistas, Montanas, y Ninos

The dental clinic was in full swing today. Between Doc and Julio (with much assistance from Angie, Mari, and Mary) they were able to serve almost 20 kids and adults in their portable-traveling-clinic! Those were some brave kids getting fills, extractions, and cleanings all on their own today. Donnie, David, and I went to survey the land that was donated by the cocode (the board of the community). It turned into a hike up the mountain through the jungle... the area has received A LOT of rain since late June and the brush was very overgrown. As Donnie, David, and I were making our way up (in a not-so-graceful-way) the kids were scurrying up and down while playing tag in their flipflops. David says that although it will not be the easiest of builds, it can be done. As of now, the largest obstacle is getting clean water to the top of the mountain because the spring that flows into the wells that the community depends on, are running low. A portable water tank might be the solution. This post is short, sweet, to the point. More to come tomorrow!
