Days Three and Four of Dental Training

Hello from Taungyi, Burma.

Originally  our plan was to bring 12 barefoot doctors from the Class of 2012 to finish their dental training.  But one didn't make it.  However, the good news is that all 11 students will be graduated.  I wasn't able to update you about yesterday due to internet connection problem.  The total patients the barefoot doctors treated in the last two days were around 80 patients.  Most of them were poor and people special needs.

1st pic: A non-Christian Pa Oo woman smiling after the barefoot doctors extracted her bad tooth.  She said the barefoot doctors are different from the goverment trained dentists.  I can't say more than that here.
2nd pic: A young girl refused to let the barefoot doctor work on her teeth unless  we spell her name correctly.  She said spelling was not correct. :)  We corrected the spelling - she was happy and the barefoot doctor accomplished his mission!
3rd pic: Ken Saw, one of our barefoot doctors.
4th pic: A young boy praying with the barefoot doctor.  He is an orphan.


Thank you for reading our updates and praying for us.  Jung
