Bonnie Mougey (Dental Hygienist)

I was honored to be a part of this mission. By the weeks end we saw healthier smiles, and increased dental education. The joy of sharing our time and talents with just a small group of individuals in need is so gratifying. It is obvious to see from their smiles how much we helped. We enjoyed sights, culture and the true heart felt interaction of the Thai people. This trip so much more fulfilling than your typical tour of Thailand. Check it out and you will see the true Thailand, "The land of smiles".

Just picture leaving your dental office--the one where everything is regulated, sterilized, efficient, clean, organized, with a detailed work schedule for employees and patients, with a tool for every specific task and available on command, with running water, bright illuminating lights, plush adjustable dental chairs, digital xray machine, detailed patient records, and everyone speaks English. Think of those as luxuries because as a volunteer on a dental mission to Thailand you won't have any of them. . .  This is Thailand.

So why volunteer? The undeniable knowledge that you have used your special skills to make a difference in the lives of many, the opportunity to immerse yourself into a very different culture and participate in an experience you will never forget. It is a good test of your professional skills but more than that, a real test of your humanitarian skills. Smiles on Wings needs your help--join us!!!
