4. SoniaMae Brown 03/05/12 Savanna-la-Mar
We met with members of her youth group (5) and her Pastor (George Houghton). The church is in the process of bringing a Mobil Dental clinic from the US. We would be a good fit to work with his church…meaning we would just have to bring the medical team and a few supplies. So this is an opportunity for ‘missions for health.’
Dr. Vanisia Grant gave a talk to the youth group on good oral health. There were a number of questions from the group. They were very interested.
Distribute care package the people in attendance.
Soniamae was given $150.00 (US) cash from Missions for Health to be used for the kids
