Dental Care 1

Urukundo Children's Home and Learning Center continues to reach out to the community and build relationships. Providing dental care is a new endeavor. You already read about Dr. Eulade who is the young dentist that is giving of his time on Saturdays. Next will be a teaching program for those wanting to work in dental offices. Knowing Arlene this will happen in the near future.

But for now much needed dental care is being provided. Carol Baney arrived on a Friday and was in the clinic on Saturday morning. She had worked in a dental office for several years when she lived in D.C. and was ready to step right in. One day here and already found a new niche.

The school children have been seen so now adults will be seen. They find out by word of mouth and signs on posts along the road. They arrive around 7:30 and are singed in by Tresor our 18 year old working towards going to university. A card is filled out to follow their care.

People are seen on a first come first serve basis. There is no preferential treatment based on who you know.

People waited patiently on one of the dorm porches as the final patient would be seen at 1:15pm. Several were sent away until the next Saturday. Yes the clinic was open from 8:00 until 1:15. A long 5 hour day for everyone.

Don't you love the Tiki Hut clinic?
