Entertainment for children at medical mission
Every year for the last 8 years, our clowns and puppeteers have been partaking in a special medical mission here in Cebu. ”Operation Restore Hope” is an Australian based foundation whose aim it is to operate on children with harelip and cleft pallet in the Philippines. They hold these missions twice a year… read more
January Dental Mission
From January 5-10 we were again able to hold a dental mission here in Cebu.

Dental Mission July 2008
We restored 872 teeth, and did prophylaxis on 371 patients. In addition to this we were able to check up on and instruct in the correct way of tooth brushing to hundreds of children in the different schools we were at. Unfortunately we had to extract almost 4000 teeth (3907 to be exact), still way too high, and something we hope will become less and less as we get more and more children to participate in the Tooth Brushing program we are pushing in the Elementary Schools and Day Care centers here in the Cebu area… read more
