Dear Partners

Many recent donations have yielded three dental chairs, three dental XRay machines, two optical slit lamp microscopes, optical exam chair, and other smaller articles.  Now we need trailers to mount them into to them to work in Mexico. As the post below dictates, we are in need of a 5th wheel trailer and a tongue pulled traier to create an optical clinic, and a second dental clinic on wheels. 

Please have your eyes open for opportunities for acquiring these through donation and prayer. 

Our optical chair still needs to be picked up in Ventura, CA.

Dear partners and volunteers,

We hope to do an outreach clinic in late Nov/Dec of 2015.   

We hope to do an outreach clinic in late Nov/Dec of 2015.   

The range we donated in conjuction with the Rotary Club of Sierra Madre has pretty much tapped all our small reserves for 2014, but that is what being a NON-profit is all about, When you could see the 143 seniors that will benfit instantly from the stove, it warms your heart in that GIVING away what we have in faith so that more will be provided as others abundantly give.  

We run a low budget ministry of less than 10K annually.  NO paid employees, NO paid accounting thanks to the time gift of Brian and Laurel Russell, and most of our volunteers mission fees cover what is costs us to send them into the Baja mission field.  We are SMALL BUT MIGHTY as my friends in Sierra Madre Rotary say about the club.

If your 2014 budget allows for any year end charitable giving, I hope you will consider a gift of ANY size to this ministry, as 90% of what you donate will be sent into the field in Baja buying prescription eyewear, insuring our Mexico car fleet, reimbursing avgas for volunteer pilots with planes that spend 2-3 times in plane upkeep costs over and above the fuel, and other neeed items. Without the ease of flying to and from Mexico, it would be a bigger energy output burden for out doctors and be a disincentive for future trips to always sit in a 3 hour plus border line.

Your gift of $500 or more will give you the optional gift of a breakfast or lunch flight in the SO Cal area for up to 4 people (or 600 lbs of total weight) as a gift from Dr Bud.

Thank you for allowing us to serve in Mexico with all you have done for us.

There is a destiny that makes us brothers, none goes his way alone,

All that we send into the lives of others, comes back into our own. Edward Markham

  Our newly Built mobile Dental Unit trailer (MDU) was hauled to the Otaj Mesa border crossing by our dental student team on Friday Feb. 4 and were turned away for entrance into Mexico due to lack of Mexican Authorization and official invitation.  We are now creating a plan with ministry partners in Yuma and Mexicali to get the unit across the border soon.

There are some things that could be completed in the interim to add to the trailer.  More cabinetry, trays from dental offices to hold instruments and handpieces, disposables such as gloves, cotton rolls, Novocaine with Epi, 2x2s, an "amalgamator", amalgum filling materials like silver and murcury.  Composite bonding and filling materials for restorations and curing lights.  Chemicals for X-ray development like developer and fixer, bulk toothbrushes and small personal toothpaste,  and sterilization chemicals specific to the dental industry.  We also would like a "backup" compressor in case the one we have new fails in service.  A overhaul on the gas generator was done but the electric part of the generator could use new brushes, voltage regulator, and other small parts and innstallation.  A "Backup" 5000W generator would also help to give additional power in camp ministry and to be a backup to the main generator built into the trailer.  Plastic organizers for the handpieces for hygene and for the dental proceedures.

 

A high speed and a low speed handpeice would be welcome since there is only one currently on the unit.  Prophys need the low speed unit for cleanings, so we could use as many as 4 of those.

  Today Friday June 25, 2010 Robert Arrington delivered two complete Belmont wall mountable X-Ray dental units (65 KVP 10mA) donated by Dr Rob Cisneros, DDS of Sunnyvale, CA who recently upgraded his office with digital equipment.  The means that the MDU (mobile dental unit) now has two dental chairs, two stools, two dental X-Rays, many hand extraction and dental surgical tools, and is well on its way to having most of the major components for a full functioning unit once all equipment is installed.  We are ready to have ministry dentists and layout specialist look at the unit and decide where each piece of equipment will be placed for the efficiency of two dental operatories in this 23 foot trailor.

 

The trailor once completed will be hauled to the Ensenada area initially to be used by USA teams on local mission outreaches to be towed by MCAM vehicles already in the Ensenada area.  If you have a dentist that would like to donate prophy, probing, application and shaping handpieces, drills, tools, a compressor, a vacuum, an autoclave, an amalgamator, Dental X-ray developer tanks, or auto processor, let us know.  The Lord has already provided greatly for this trailor.

 

Any equipment donations for the dental trailor can be shipped or dropped off to 140 N Hill Ave. Pasadena, CA ( the trailors location currently) and the used retail value attached to get a Tax deductible donation receipt.  Donations also welcome to purchase any items that are not donated to this project. Send the donation value also to Brian Russell, CPA Treasurer MCAM 1250 E Walnut Ste 122 Pasadena, CA 91106

  Cash, check, or medical supply donations are appreciated anytime.

 

Consider a $10.00-$50.00 monthly pledge to help with our teams.
