This week we hosted our first dental team of 60 from Charleston, SC- our old stomping ground. With their perfect smiles and giving hearts, they set up 2 different clinics in Quito to provide free dental cleanings, extractions, root canals, and tooth restoration to adults and children everyday this week. They also had an eye clinic to provide reading glasses to those who needed them. In addition, they participated in community outreach by going to schools and the soup kitchen to instruct kids how to brush and care for their teeth. Our role was to help make sure everything ran smoothly- Greg and I helped prepare and serve lunch to over 100 people each day as well as dinner for the 10 translators that stayed with us. Here are some pictures of the week.

What a great service you and the team gave to so many Ecuadorians! That's awesome. However, I must say, the photos make me think of my times at the dentist and cringe :) (I'm obviously not a huge fan of the dentist)
Hi Greg and Amy
So wonderful to see all the volunteers giving of their time and talent to those who otherwise would go without. Give them a thank you from us who once again realize we have been given so much. The smiles on those children are beautiful. love you all. uncle greg and aunt karen.
