Dental Clinic on Tuesday

---

Hello everyone
we had another great day today. we are enjoying the walk up the hill in the Maela camp! Not anywhere near as hard as we thought. the history of the camp is very interesting, has been here 20 years and there are 50000 people living here, all on top of each other. The UN gives them all a ration of rice and fish paste a month, and that is all. the Thai people do not allow them to grow their own vegies, as they want to monopolise the trade - though they dont actually have any income or money to spend. we are working at the Christian School which has 460 kids in it, and we are mostly seeing those kids who have teeth which are causing pain. Norli, the dentist is mainly just pulling them out or doing fillings. Abbey and a local girl are being her assistants (very hard really with no experience) and Kylie and I helping out where we can. Kylie looking forward to going to do some work in the school, adn I will be doing some trauma training on one of the days.
We go to the same restaurant every night, Casa Mia, as it has great local and international food. Open air bamboo hut with alot of character. We get to do internet each afternoon at this cool cafe, with lovely coffee. We are loving the lunches, which we have at the camp and it is made by the locals for a tiny cost. All we do is EAT!!Love to everyone. Lisa and Kyliexxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
