Morocco - update on this years mission
- 24.09.12 problems getting the equipment thru customs and Cally
Gedge now has to spend tomoz trying to get this sorted out -
agghghghghghhgh
- 25.09.12 phew! - finally customs have allowed our equipment thru.
It will be at El Jabah this evening so we'll be able to start treating the
children tomorrow :)
- 26.09.12 Had to wait for the local anaesthetic to arrive (we can't
bring that in with us we have to source it locally), so this delayed us
starting treatments. Saw a 10 year old boy with big black holes in
his front teeth, managed to fill them and make them look nice, he went out
beaming and Dr Teresa was told it had made his year. Between
us we’ve treated 70+ children today, mainly extractions. Very
draining physically and emotionally - expecting to do the same again
tomorrow.
- 27.09.12 Saw a 6 year old girl today with 2 abscessed teeth -
she smiled all the way thru the treatment when we took them out
- she was a joy to treat and parents were very
grateful. All in we treated over 90+ children today.
some very emotional moments with the scared ones, and hugs and kisses
after treatment. Ran out of supplies so we had to finish
earlier than expected.
- 28.09.12 Will be a day to rest and we travel home on
29.09.12. I'm already looking forward to coming back next year!
- In the meantime Dr Teresa looks like witchypoo with her broken
tooth, no news yet on how this happened - good job we know some
very good dentists, she'll be needing one :)
