Instrument Inspiration!

Thursday, September 23rd, 2010

Joan Hornett, retired dentist and much valued dental volunteer with CRU has experienced two trips to Uganda with Barbara Koffman’s teams.
She used the CRU mobile dental clinic’s instruments as inspiration for this composition for her Fine Arts degree.
Good luck with the course Joan and we look forward to having you on board for another dental mission.
