On one mission trip in Mexico they actually talked me in to pulling a woman's tooth. It was TRAUMA for everyone involved, including the patient. Yeah. But I did it. So BAM.
Anyways, some of my dentist friends have been bugging me (or I have been bugging them, can't remember now) to put together a dental trip to the Mother-land hosted at the Prince home. What could be better? My hood with my crazy dentist friends walking around?!?
Finally am starting to do some research to see if it's even possible with Living Hope (they also want to bring some dentists over) AND needed to take Ntokozo to see the dentist. SO finally got to go to the ONE dentist in Ocean View this week - Doctor Sonday. Hollar at my new boy! He is so cool, and down to earth, and really smart and competent, and CHOSE to move back to the View after leaving to go to school. So much respect for him. We'll see what evolves with a trip, but I am definitely excited about MY upcoming visit for a cleaning to my new main man. Going to the dentist in Ocean View; how GREAT is that? That might even get you to finally get on a plane and come over here, right?
Hope stuff develops, hope some peeps come over to do dentistry here, hope we can teach and help the people in this community with dental hygiene, hope I never have to pull another tooth.
Love,
Sarah

My friends, the Kuhls, are going back to Kenya this year on a dental trip. They partner with Kenya Relief (http://www.kenyarelief.org/). Wonder if you guys could some how piggy back on that and get them to come to Ocean View as part of that trip? If I remember correctly, they fly in an out of South Africa on those trips...just a thought. Trying to make a connection for you... :)
If you do this, please let me know as it would be great to hook up A. with a dentist (not Andy...you know who)
