After 26 hours of travel, 1 long plane ride, a 4 hour bus ride bus ride through the winding country side and one 40 minute ride on a small wooden fishing boat, we arrived on the Ilha do Araujo.

After a hot showers and a meal, the team was down for the night.






An early wake up, a hearty breakfast and a walk down up and down the trail, the team reached the school and clinic where they would be working. In the first day, our small but might team, screened 40 patients and treated 19. A majority of the children when asked, replied that this was their first dental visit. That's a good thing - they don't know to be fearful.
