Rotary Club of Mission Sunrise: Our 2010 International Service Project
From March 23 to April 6, 2010, the Rotary Club of Mission Sunrise
sent a team of twelve (7 Mission Rotarians and 5 Support Staff) to participate in
a joint international dental service project with the Rotary Club of Quito Occidente.
Funded by a generous club grant and sponsorships, the team of 3 dentists, 3 registered
nurses and 6 volunteer staff, provided dental services to 180 patients in 6 working days.
Clinic venues were in Yaruqui Hospital Dental clinic, 2 public schools and one community hall.
Screened by Ecuador Public Health Dentists, the patients were young children and adults
from needy families. The patients could not afford regular dental care and were all in dire
need of dental treatment.
Dental services consisted of emergent care, restorative dentistry and basic removeable prosthetics.
Medications and dental supplies donated to the Yaruqui Hospital will be
used for a population of 200,000 in the surrounding district.
Our gratitude is extended to the Rotarians of Quito Occidente club, who generously
provide organizational logistics, meals and transportation.
Goodwill, fellowship and rewarding service was beneficial to all. We made many new
international friends and the memories will last a life time.
