Dental Mission Trip

A chance to give back to so many others during the summer

Summers are not just meant for the taking;

To spend a week long on a mission trip,

Adds so much value to life with giving,

As many faces leave with a numb lip.

St. Lucia, Summer, 2018

The heartfelt smiles of appreciation,

The hugs, the gifts, feelings of gratitude,

Warms the heart as the sun heats the nation,

A job well done with a great attitude.

St. Lucia, Summer, 2015

But the conditions aren’t always the best:

Days spent working from sunrise to sunset,

Having power and water is a test.

At the end of each day we then reset.

St. Lucia, Summer, 2015

The food is tasty, beaches just stunning,

We will return. Mother nature’s calling.
