Back in the old days dentists did a lot of their own lab work.  My Dad was no different.  He would sit at the kitchen table with all his dental tools and gadgets and happily work away.  I couldn’t have been older than four when I first remember watching him.  “That’s what I want to do someday” I would tell myself.  And that’s what I did.

    He built his dental office with my grandfather in 1956 not more than 6 blocks from our home.  And after more than 55 years that is where I practice today!  But boy have there been changes.

     This particular village was started about 5 years ago by an organization called Agros International.  Its primary goal is to teach impoverished families how to farm in an attempt to help them become self-sustaining.  There are about 25 families in Nuevo Renacer.
