Mission Day 5 - Internet Day 1


We have been in Phang-nga for 5 days and finally got the internet up  and running today!  Dr. Usa was running the show by herself for the first 3 days of the clinic and today our super group of volunteers sprang into action.  Today we treated students from the R35 School, children from a local fisherman village as well as from the Daungprateep Foundation Orphanage.

Dr. Atul, Dr. Usa, Sze San, Tiffany and Melissa are running the dental station.  Jax, Sid and Nikhil are in charge of screening the patients and dental education.  Pan is our superhero translator.  Aaron and Luke are the video/photo squad.  Matt is the mechanic/soccer player/kid entertainer and Ros is kid entertainer #2/computer engineer/internet expert.  With such a great time we have been able to treat many patients, provide in depth dental education while having fun and eating delicious Thai food at every spare moment. 

Make sure to check the blog daily for words from our volunteers, pics of the clinic and treatment stats!
