For the last couple of weeks my Dad has been with a Dental and Medical outreach team working in villages near the city of Zhytomyr. I joined them for the last couple days and it was great to hear about all they were able to accomplish. The team included two nurses, two dental hygienists, one dentist, a dental student, a teacher, a pastor and a lot of other people! One of the really neat things about the team was the diversity of the group… aside from the different professions they represented, there were people from different countries and regions, different economic class, different cultures, different organizations, different denominations, of different ages… and all these differences were put aside.

They worked in three different locations providing free medical and dental help as well as teaching better hygiene and just loving the kids. They also talked one-on-one with a lot of parents about how to take care of their children.

Anyway, I was just with them for the last couple days so I can’t tell you much more but I’m sure my Dad will let you all know more about the trip as soon as he has time. ‘Til then here are some pictures…
