We Rise By Lifting Each Other
Host Michelle Beck, will be searching out and speaking with those who give back and provide opportunities or goods to those in need . . . just because. Helping others fills your soul. Everyone benefits when goodness is shared. There will be times in life when you give less and need more. If you help someone, they may help someone else and the circle keeps going. Whether it be the sharing of information, time, or physical things, the giver will be richer for it.
We Rise By Lifting Each Other
One World Brigades - Providing International Health Care & The Spirit of Service
Host Michelle Beck welcomes Dr. Julie Spaniel, Executive Director of One World Brigades, whose mission is two-fold: to assist international communities with dental care and education, and to open the eyes of our youth to the spirit of service.
Dr. Julie Spaniel is Executive Director of One World Brigades, an international service organization. She started her private practice, Sprucewood Dental Associates, in Vermont in 1992 and operated it for 27 years. Today she operates Summerwood Family Dental in Tigard, OR, and dedicates her work to helping communities around the world with dental needs, education, and sustainability. Her journey of helping others started when she was enrolled in the dental school at UNC Chapel Hill. Dr. Spaniel’s first service trip took place at a Cherokee Indian reservation to help treat the Native American population when she was 21 years old. She decided early that her passion was serving others. It was also at UNC Chapel Hill where she earned her doctorate for dental surgery. She now has her focus to primarily helping communities in Honduras, Ghana, and Uganda. From running clinics in Ghana to helping inspire a permanent dental practice in Honduras, Dr. Spaniel has utilized organizations, volunteers, and partnerships on her mission to transform international communities. Her goal is to help these countries and their people with more than just short-term dental help-but long term sustainability.
For today's "Happy Hour" we are highlighting a traditional Ghanian drink, Akpeteshie, which is produced by distilling palm wine and has approximately a 30-50% alcohol content, so you don’t need too many of these!
“Whatever you want in life, give it away and it comes back to you ten-fold." – Dr. Julie Spaniel.
