Billy assisting us in Setting Up Capital Edge Community Clinic |
Here at Capital Edge Community Center, we have literally had thousands of people cross
through our open gates these last two weeks!
We have partnered with MMI (Medical Ministries International) and are providing a General Medical Clinic, a Dentistry Clinic & a Pharmacy to the people in our community.
Moises having a general check-up (for the first time) with Dr. Mah, from Toronto, Canada |
One lady who is in her early 30s, Maria, had half a mouth of teeth
left, and of the ones still remaining, she had 11 cavities! She has four
beautiful kids, all with tooth rot due to malnutrition.
It is tough seeing the harsh realities of their living on less
than a dollar a day displayed in their teeth, however thanks to a generous
supporter (you know who you are!!) we were able to help her with the dental and
medical work she and her family needed.
Luisita, a student of Capital Edge Community School, is also having a general check-up with Dr. Mah, from Toronto, Canada |
The American, Canadian and Nicaraguan doctors, dentists and nurses have volunteered their services for
free, and MMI have provided medicines and materials at cost... We have just one
day left - and we are believing that we can continue to make a difference!
We have already been able to assist MANY people due to
generous givers and would like to complete our 2 week clinic time as a blesssing.. sooo if you wanna
participate in OPERATION SMILE keep reading....

Blessings to you all - and thank you for allowing us to be
the "glue" that connects you with the needs of poor Nicaraguans

PS.. We will also be hosting this mobile medical clinic on a regular basis. Please consider supporting this vital ministry to everyday Nicaraguans, who truly cannot afford the necessities in life, let alone having their bodies cared for in this way.
