Volunteer Clowns Distract the Children

A Volunteer group of clowns keep the children distracted from what awaits.

Prior to surgery children receive dental care

A unique feature about this trip is the dental care. All children are screened prior to surgery. Most need many extractions. Lothar, a volunteer dentist from Australia, and Sally, a local dentist who Lothar has trained, extract the teeth while the children are asleep. This adds 5-15 minutes per case, but greatly helps the children.

A long awaited surgery for this young man
