Since 2010 THHF has traveled every June to Freetown, Sierra Leone. As of 2009, the country of 5.7 million people has a total of 24 dentists. There are 3 doctors for every 100,000 people. One out of every 5 children under the age of 5 dies. The average life expectancy is 49. Even a two week trip to an area such as this has a huge impact on the local community.
