In the days before permanent facilities were set up at the Parroquia, the clinic had to be set up and torn down by each visiting dentist.

Patients fill the clinic while Ricardo Pacham registers them and fills out a dental record card for each one.

Don't you think this nice set of teeth is worth saving? Rotary International makes it happen.
