Dentist

Every couple of months Mugabi and Jamie, from the KCF department, take a group of our students to the dentist for some quality cavity filling time. The students have an initial consult at our Medical Clinic, but we need to go to Rakai town (a 15 minute drive from Kibaale)  for cavity fillings. Our trip usually consists of arriving at the hospital, waiting around for the generator to start up, file into one room and then the fillings begin!





There are no toys handed out at the end of the visit, but the big reward to enduring this pain is a trip to the town's restaurant for a very good lunch!!!
