An Unforgettable Trip to Mexico

On November 21st and 22nd, 2008 Dr. Greg Hatch and I flew to San Ignacio, Mexico in Dr. Hatch's plane (San Ignacio is located on the Baja Peninsula), along with Dr. Alan Longfellow and a few of our staff members. Our mission: to provide dental care to the people living in this area in order to teach and promote good oral health.

Our trip began when we landed our plane on a small dirt landing strip in San Ignacio, which was definitely an adventure it itself! We were then driven to a small Mexican pueblo where members of the group "The Flying Samaritans" have recently completed construction of a new medical/dental clinic.

On Saturday, the 22nd, we spent almost the entire day working with the people of San Ignacio doing fillings and extracting decayed teeth. The local people we helped were all very appreciative, and interested in what we were doing! The humanitarian services that we provided filled all of us with feelings of gratitude for our own lives of abundance and a desire to return to San Ignacio again soon to help all of these wonderful people!

Buddy Walk to Benefit Down Syndrome - Arizona 2008

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to be a part of the Annual Buddy Walk for Down Syndrome! What a fantastic event! We arrived at the park bright and early to register, then spent the whole morning having fun! Between the fun games, good food, great music and amazing people, this event was a huge success. It was wonderful to see the sparkle in these kids' eyes. They sure do know how to have a good time. We loved watching them perform dances like "Thriller", and "The Macarena". Then everyone marched around the track laughing, clapping and enjoying the good company. After that it was back to the games and dancing! We had a great experience and appreciate the light that these kids bring into our lives.
