| Dental Laboratory One of Mount Horebs main activities has been to create jobs and generate income; an important pillar for the betterment of impoverished communities like Itaperuçu. As well as contributing to the sustainability of Mount Horeb, the work they provide has empowered many poor people and helps build self-esteem as they participate in serving others. We now operate a dental clinic with 3 treatment rooms, and as many as 9 dentists who work at greatly reduced rates in order to serve the poor. The goal now is to expand and add a dental laboratory in order to provide a broader range of services, and create more employment. This laboratory will enable the production of dental prosthetics and will generate a series of benefits for our community, for those who provide these services, and for the sustainability of our overall effort.
