How much time did you spend at the Deaf school at Kamagere?
Curt set up his dental clinic in a Catholic hospital room about two blocks from the deaf school, as the facilities in the school would have been inadequate. …The deaf children were examined and treated during the first 2 and a half days of our 5 day clinic. They were very cute and Curt tried to interact with them (signing, etc.) the best he could. They were very cooperative. At the end of the clinic curt gave each of the deaf children (all 56 of them) their own toothbrush. Some of them had never had their own. They were appreciative and signed ” thank-you” to him in ASL (Elaina had taught them that!) many local villagers were also treated, most of whom had never been to a dentist before. Nearly 200 people were treated, in all, at the clinic. Elaina taught Vacation Bible School classes for eight days (in the mornings) to the deaf children. Then taught the same classes to hearing children in the afternoons, also in Kamagere who were in the SDA hearing school there. So she was busy!! S
