Obviously I couldn't leave Mibba forever, but I will be leaving over the summer. As some of you know, I am currently going into my second year of dental school (yay!), and I got an amazing volunteer opportunity that I couldn't pass up. A few of my classmates and I, along with a ton of other future and current doctors and dentists, will be spending our summer in various countries in Africa performing treatments on people who wouldn't be able to afford or receive the care otherwise.
I have done many missions trips with my church before, but never for this long and nothing quite like this. I can't even begin to explain how excited I am to be able to help these people and learn more about my field from some incredible people. This summer is going to be quite the journey.
All that being said, I'm going to be in many places that barely have running water let alone internet, so my Mibba time will be limited if not non-existent until I get back at the end of the summer. I'm going to be leaving my Article Editor position until I get back to having regular internet as well.
Wish me luck guys! I'm going to need it!
