 The Montero Medical Mission from the state of Virginia visited the island from the 16th to the 20th of September with the goal of providing human service to members of the public in need of dental services but who could not afford those services. While here the medical mission undertook a virtual dental van tour as it was called to all 77 primary schools. During that tour members of the delegation engaged the students during school hours via their Zoom platform with illustrations on proper tools brushing and a general oral hygiene. The mission also visited the Denver Hospital and Miku Wellness Center where they carried out dental procedures on both children and adults. We're offering a lot of services here for children that need it. We're doing cleanings, extractions and fillings for these children. We're doing the best we can for what we have and what we're using here. So I think there's a need here. There's a decay. A lot of children have decay and even I had a child today that I had to refer to the hospital for a large abscess. So there's a need for pediatrics here in this area and that's why we came down here to try to help. Dr. Martin is appealing to parents to cut back on the amount of sugar that a child or children consume. Sugar is just causing decay on children so it's the limitation of sugar and the actually the proper oral hygiene that help eliminate a lot of the problems. So that's we're doing instructions on dietary issues too as we see the children here. For Dr. Charles Johnson it was a rewarding trip to St. Lucia although he twice visited the island whilst on the cruise. This was his first work trip here. I have been all over the world. I've been the manager of the Paraguay, Ecuador but this was seen special for me because we are providing the service that the people were appreciative and they seem to want us to help them and the community, the Rotary and Alliance group, they really made it easier for us to work here and hopefully we can come back. The Virginia-based Montero medical mission was headed by its founding member and the president Dr. Juan Montero from the communications unit of the Ministry of Health, Wellness and Elderly Affairs to Lita Peter reporting.
