Mombasa

Mombasa is the second largest city in Kenya and it is found on the Indian Ocean. Here is dad with his tour guide Nicholas at the hotel in Mombasa.

Mukeu Dental Clinic

This is the dental clinic where Greta and I were going to help build and do dental hygiene teaching (Mukeu, Kenya) in 2005. Greta was very excited about getting equipment and supplies and was disappointed when her illness came back prohibiting her from going to Kenya.

Dr. Ben, dentist, works the clinic in the village. He has limited resources and could use the following items (anyone who can help, please let me (Jack) know and I will be happy to make arrangements)

1. Autoclave (sterilizer): they have an old one that breaks down

2. headpieces: high speed and prophylaxis

3. headpiece lubricant

4. extraction instruments; straight broad elevator, root tip elevators, seldon elevators

5. Preventatives; prophy paste caps and jar (pref. coarse).

6. He also mentioned he could use a light similar to the picture below.

Kenya

Dad is currently in Mombasa at the Bahari Hotel. He has enjoyed seeing a lot of animals (water buffalo, elephants...), and just this morning he saw a lion eating the insides of a giraffe. He has had a guide/friend, Nicholas, that has taken him to a rural village, on a safari, and now to Mombasa. I'm really excited to talk to my dad about Kenya as I was there 3 years ago! He will be home on Sunday...
