Bonny and I started coming down to the PMC in 2000. We have made the trip annually since then. Our first several trips were with our daughters and usually a friend of theirs. We found the clinic to be an ideal place to start getting involved with foreign missions. The local people have open hearts and have been very welcoming to us over the years. The clinic staff has been wonderful to work with and very attentive to our needs. The accommodations have been very adequate for individuals or families and improving over the years. The dental needs we see in Belize are not unlike those we see in the U.S. The equipment is of the late 1980s vintage but adequate to get the job done. We have made some wonderful relationships with local Belizeans and truly feel like we are at our second home when there. We consider many of the full time staff as personal friends/family and eagerly look forward to returning. I would recommend this mission experience to anyone who may be a bit nervous about taking their first overseas steps. You will get much more out of the trip than you put in and will be blessed while you are being a blessing.
