INDIA





Over spring break I was able to go to India with some of my classmates from dental school, a couple med students, faculty from both schools, some Pedo residents, and a group of four from New Zeland. We teamed up with Dashmesh dental school and hospital in Faridkot India (near Amristar and the Pakastan border). For a week we treated women and children at the school and hospital. It was a great experience and we had a blast with our students and faculty hosts. After the week in Faridkot, three classmates and I did some traveling around Dehli, Agra (home of the Taj Mahal), and Jaipur. I had a great time and have great stories to tell...too many for one blog post, so keep checking back for more.
