The other day we held a medical missions, in which a team of doctors volunteered their Saturday afternoon and services for our friends and their families. Few countries have as awesome health care as Canada does, and the Philippines is no exception. Over 200 people decided to forgo paying for some dental, pediatric, optometric, pharmaceutical and general health services.

Partway through I rendered myself somewhat useful by assisting the dentists with cleaning and sterilizing their tools.The crazy hair in the photo is from the fan on the highest setting, pointed straight at the dental tools to hasten the drying process.

We had drawn such a large crowd that it warranted our own personal mobile ice cream/snack stall.

The other night we handed out some of the glasses to our friends, and some of them recognized us from the medical mission. I was even asked if I was one of the dentists. Masks and gloves: giving the appearance of something you're not, since 2010.
Wow Lydia, please keep on sharing with us your experiences. I am so proud of you for doing what you do. Love you!
