Jaime in Jamaica

Jaime at the Dental outreach in Jamaica.
They laid out chairs and desks to make dental tables to work on the children...Jaime said no running water or electricity...

Jaime in action! I am going to work on getting her group to Ethiopia!!
The happy patient and doctor!
Jaime teaching the kids about how to care for their teeth.
My best friend and next door neighbor growing up is in Jamaica doing a dental outreach to needy children in Jamaica. A group of US dentists armed with bags of toothbrushes, toothpaste and assorted dental tools and meds headed up the mountains in Jamaica to treat children that have probably never seen a dentist. I know when Tess came her teeth were one of the first things we had to tackle because at 7 1/2 she had never seen a dentist...we had a lot of work to do!! So the gift these loving dentists gave these children is priceless! Just knowing someone cares enough for them to be there is so good for their souls!! Jaime also went into the schoolrooms and taught them how to use the toothbrushes and supplies they were given....we all need to use our gifts to give back!! Jaime what a blessing you brought to those Kids! OX
