Water for Life Mobile Dental Clinic
Water for Life now has a mobile dental bus. The bus is located in Poptun, Guatemala. It is fully equipped with solar power, two dental chairs and equipment to staff two dentists at a time. The bus is ready to serve the remote villages of Guatemala and we have already been out with the bus to a well dedication. Currently the bus will be serving the Poptun area churches and neighborhoods, with volunteer dentists working in the bus. This mission will save many lives in these Guatemalan villages. The main purpose of this mobile dental bus is to do extractions, fillings and cleanings. We want to provide as many teaching possibilities as possible. If we can teach some preventative care and good oral hygiene habits from an early age, it can save lives in the future. With this clinic we can offer services to many of the villagers that are unable to travel to the city for care and prevent illness and even deaths of children and adults. This mobile dental bus ties in perfectly with Water for Life and their mission to bring water to these villages, we are looking forward to working with the drilling team to get this bus to well sites to help as many people as we can and spread God's word and love!
We would like to hire a full-time dentist for this bus, and we are in the process of looking for one now. In the meantime, the bus will be used by volunteer dentists and assistants.
We have the bus equipped with the basic tools and equipment needed, but this is an on-going mission, and we still need funds, and any supplies or equipment will be accepted. Anything you can give to this life saving mission is very much appreciated.
