A Visit from the Dentists
Posted by: | Comments
I am always amazed at the kindness and generosity of the people who work with us at the Semillas de Amor children’s village. These are the people who keep our children healthy and thriving. Last week we had a visit from Kids International Dental Services. Medical and dental groups just don’t “show up” to help but planning for their visits take a least a year.

Fire fighters in developing countries do not have access to the equipment that first world countries have. And these developing country fire fighters are dependent on donations of used and outdated equipment from first world countries to do their jobs. I was impressed by the commitment of our fire fighters and the amount of time they spent with our kids. All the kids and the adults got to dress up in the fire fighter’s gear. We had so much fun.
