As we mentioned earlier, we have received some generous donations toward dental equipment. So, we have decided to invest in a larger, but quieter air compressor that will operate both dental clinics at Clinica Caris, as well as central suction, rather than individual units, which gives us more suction power to be able to do oral surgery procedures. We are hoping to have them installed and ready for our visiting oral surgeon, Dr. Robert Lamb, who will be working with our two dentists and teaching at the end of this month. Here are some pictures of the construction project.

| New breaker box for the equipment. Here's something funny: around here they call the the individual breaker switches flipones (flee-PON-es). When you hear it in Spanish it takes a second to realize it's from the English "flip on". |
