For the last 5 years we have had the honor to partner with Shining Souls Corp and host multi-yearly dental outreach missions. Over the years we have served the children at the orphanage, over 400 students & teachers at the Emmanuel school, and hundreds of people from the community of Bombardopolis. With almost nonexistent access to dental care, the needs of the community are beyond what anyone could imagine. No matter how many hours missionaries spent providing pro-bono services, the line of patients wanting care were always endless.
What started as a solo hygienist providing simple fluoride applications and stand up dental examinations in 2019, has developed into a fully functional multi chair setup powered by solar. Thanks to many donations, we have accumulated a variety of materials, tools, and disposables to allow us to help a variety of patients. In 2022, we were blessed with a handheld x-ray machine and sensor, which was a huge upgrade from our self developing x-ray film we attempted to use in 2020. God has placed some very passionate dental professionals in our path, and we are forever grateful for all the work they have done here in Bombardopolis Haiti. We look forward to watching what God continues to do for our community through these individuals. It is our dream to one day be able to provide dental care on a regular basis by building a small dental clinic in which missionaries and Haitian professionals can serve the community anytime. This project is still in the early stages of planning as we have so many other needs at Emmanuel Children's Center of Bombardopolis Haiti, but we trust that the right partners will come along to help make this vision a reality in 2024.

Build a Clinic ProjectWhile we enjoy the flexibility our portable dental units provide, to be able to set up anywhere, we would love to have a permanent building designated to being our clinic. We pray 2024 is the year we are able to our own little clinic so we can provide dental care all year around to the community.

Mobile DentistryWe have spent much of the last four years focusing on the dental needs of those within the Emmanuel Children's Center. In 2022 we followed God's guidance to start helping children and adults in nearby communities. We plan to continue expanding our services through the churches and communities by providing Mobile Dentistry Days.
