We had a wonderful, successful week at the San Pedro Lions Club of Belize. We enjoyed our stay at Ramon’s Village. The devotions were led by some dear long time participants. It was lovely to have the reading of Pslams and the praise and worship music (from the earlier years) played during our devotions. Even though Bonnie wasn’t there in person she was there in spirit. We worked a long 5 days cleaning, restoring, filling, and even sometimes extracting teeth to help improve the overall oral health of our patients. The dental lab completed 52 partials and their broken smiles were once again complete. We had wonderful meals at Ramon’s, Blue Water, Red Ginger, Elvis, Carambas, Lavish habit, Calientes, and many others. It was heart warming to connect with old friends there… Maria, Helen, Frank and Adele, Ramon, Franko, and many others. It was a rarity to be able to have the Minister of Health join our clinic and meet with all of. For once… in 30 years…we seem to be making headway in that regard. Our time with Dr Giovanni and his wife were lovely and we are blessed to have his support. The children of Holy Cross school were sweet to meet and help provide for. The little laughs of the children of the clinic were sweet to hear… the little cars, crayons, slap bracelets, hair ties, and other things we brought to them through the week made their days. It was wonderful to spend time with old friends while making new ones. Hearts were touched. Lives were blessed. Smiles were repaired. Another BMP trip in the books. Time to plan another… ❤️
