Volunteer Voices

I was one of the dental volunteers during the Aug 1-14 mission at Codo. I just wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to try out something that I have always wanted to do. I am very appreciative of you and your family, and what you have established in Codo. I also wanted to say that I had a great time in Codo, and had always planned to do some sort of volunteer service when I become a dentist. Codo, was the perfect place and I don't think they can ever have enough help. The objective of this email is to ask you for some advice. I know you are a very busy guy, but I hope to get a reply from you when you can. I plan to perhaps have some sort of plan for going to Codo in the future on a regular basis (once I am a practicing dentist). I am still not 100% sure where I would go to provide a service but I would like to travel to Codo a few more times over the next few years to see if it is the place. I plan to go back to Codo this December if possible. I want to go back to volunteer some more, and to also learn the city and language better."
