Trip to San Ignacio, Sep 2009

LMV conducted a dental clinic in San Ignacio, Baja California Sur, an area that only a week before was inundated with water and mud from Hurricane Jimena. Forty-four very appreciative patients were served in the well-equipped and well-staffed Deborah Wayne Clinic. We also carried hurricane relief supplies.
