the numbers speak for themselves...
Within 14 days of opening the dental clinic we have treated over 1,000 patients!!!
Mercy Ships released the following update on March 29th:
"from the Field in Sierra Leone: to date, 2,893 dental care, tooth decay and infection procedures have been performed by Mercy Ships volunteers"
So here's a few pictures of our team working at the clinic. . .
 |
| The entrance to the clinic where each patient is registered and a goes through a brief health history. |

 |
| Listening to hygiene instruction and the reason we are here seeking to follow the model of Jesus. |
 |
| Assisting 'the world's fastest dentist', who averages only a couple minutes to treat each patient |
 |
| Mona! the Norwegian dentist I usually assist |
 |
| Working away! |
 |
| the other side of the clinic |

| Comfort Yeboah and her translator, Pastor Samuel talking to the patients who are waiting |
And then a link to the blog one of our ship photographers wrote after visiting our clinic! Love hearing about the team from someone else's perspective: http://tombradley.wordpress.com/2011/03/19/the-tooth-the-whole-tooth-and-nothing-but-the-tooth/
Hope this gave y'all a better picture of what's going on in this corner of the world. Continued prayers for peace among the people we are treating and good health for the team are appreciated!!
