April 19th and 20th the dental team went to work at the Peace Refugee camp in Lome. The refugees were from The Ivory Coast. About 2,500-3,000 people live in the refugee camp. The first day we had 3 dentists working and 4 assistants. Then the next day we had a dentist from Togo join our team so we had 4 dentists working. In the two days we were there we saw 204 patients and extracted 354 teeth. :) Those were VERY busy days.
God blessed us with very good weather though. Not near as hot as the prison outreach. The building was much bigger as well so it was nice! After working on Thursday we got to walk around and view the refugee camp. It was very large. They had many tents set up and then some wooden buildings for homes.
I'll post more pictures later. :)
