Our three-day medical mission takes us to seven rural villages, accompanying doctors and a dentist from the Taiwan Medical Peace Corps. Another time we accompany the Taiwan Root Medical Mission on a two-day mission, visiting four Tsao Aborigine villages, the doctors donating medical and dental services to 200 patients. The Tsao people live in villages with no medical assistance, the closest medical facilities are a one-to-two-hour ride away. We begin by going around the village to announce the clinic and check for homebound patients.Yet another three-day trip will take us to seven Paiwan Aborigine villages.
