"This is my first dental mission trip. Boy, have I been missing out! I was a bit apprehensive about going at first since Honduras is considered one of the most dangerous countries in the world. However, the minute I landed, I felt like I was home. Not home as in LA, but home as in Sudan, where i'm originally from. It was all too familiar to me. Both are developing countries with poverty, no electricity, no water, and malaria. Clinic was a great learning experience. I did a lot of restorative, a lot of extractions and an Endo case (on a cop!). I even learnt how to extract teeth with a single instrument! The patients were so grateful for the work we were doing. I would love to go on trips like this again. Maybe take it back to Sudan or Egypt? This trip was a lot of work; physically exhausting but mentally rewarding. Time to finally relax in Roatan. :)" --Noha
