The Smiles on Wings team arrived to the town of Mae Sariang in Mae Hong Son Province of northern Thailand. We got to check out some pretty cool sights on the three hour drive from Chiang Mai. We saw rock formations and pretty intense white water rapids on an unexpected hike in a national park. Even in shorts and tank-tops the team impressively survived the steep hills and slippery rocks. A few kilometers down the road we stopped at a pine tree forest and drank delicious fruit shakes.
Bright and early tomorrow morning the team will begin work at the 21 Rajaprajanugroh (King's Foundation) School. Our amazing and eclectic team includes 16 Thai and American volunteers including 4 dentists, 1 hygienist, 2 dental assistants and 1 health technician. We will set up our mobile dental clinic and provide treatment for the students and villagers for the next four days. Make sure to stop by our blog tomorrow for pictures and stories of our first day at the school!
