We have a rather unique situation in the Central America Area. We have a dental clinic that is manned by as many as 4 and as few as 1 dentist. There are only a few of these clinics supported by the church around the world. I have been able to volunteer there one day a week for the last few months due to fewer missionary applications in the summer. I am not trained, but I know how to use the computer, put together "goodie" bags for young patients, and do a little filing. I do not answer phones...a blessing for whoever would be on the other line! The clinic works in conjunction with a charitable organization that supports orphanges and schools in the city and also Catholic services. We see children all school ages, prospective and currently serving missionaries, missionaries in the Guatemala MTC, and senior and temple missionaries. Unfortunately, we are soon losing Dr. Milne as they have completed their mission which leaves only Dr. Curtis. If anyone knows any dentist who want to serve, please contact us so we can pass the word to Salt Lake. It does not initially go through the missionary department.
