The Winchester Star 2009-12-12 09:31:53 | Source Dr. Joel Evans hasn t always had the time to perform volunteer dental work. If you had asked me 15 years ago when I had just got out of school, I would have said, No, I don t think I have time for that, because you re so busy trying to support your family, he said. But now the Clarke County resident has merged work and play, making public service a part of a recent vacation. In July, Evans traveled to Israel with his wife Susan to spend about a week in the Trudi Birger Dental Clinic in Jerusalem, providing free dental care for children in need. He volunteered through Dental Volunteers for Israel, a program that brings in dentists from around the world to provide dental care and oral hygiene education. Evans and his wife squeezed the trip to Israel between becoming grandparents, a family reunion, work, running their farm, church activities, and community volunteering. The couple, who have six children Emma, 3, Ashley, 14, Laura, 16, Jeff, 18, Trisha, 20, and Jennifer, 21 live on a 40-acre farm with nine cows, six goats, bees, and soon-to-arrive chickens. The Dental Volunteers program provided an apartment in Jerusalem for the Evanses as well as dental equipment, but Evans paid for the rest of the trip. He used frequent flier miles to pay for the flight to Israel. Evans worked at the clinic from 8 a.m. until about 2 p.m. each day, he said, and saw about 60 children. Dentistry s pretty much the same the world over, so we just got in and went to work, he said. The young patients were screened and given an appointment before their visit, and would sometimes come in with their families, Evans said. He saw children from a range of ethnicities, religions, and nationalities. When the kids come in, I don t know if they re Jewish or Armenian, or if they re Ethiopian Jews or Bedouins or Christians or Muslims, he said. It s a whole melting pot out there of people. After Evans finished volunteering each day, he and his wife would tour the country, traveling to the Dead Sea, Tel Aviv, the bell caves in Beit Govrin National Park, and other sites. The trip was different from the impersonal experience of international travel on a tour bus, Evans said. Now I ve got friends over there. It has a whole different aspect than just when you re there, observing others, Susan Evans added. The Evanses said they noticed some racial and ethnic tension, but many people were kind and helpful. Joel Evans found the clinic on the Web site of the Academy of LDS Dentists, an organization for dentists belonging to the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The couple had wanted to go to Israel for the past 10 years for religious and personal reasons, Susan Evans said, but were hesitant because of the country s political unrest. They took their sign when the Brigham Young University Jerusalem Center for Near Eastern Students, a five-acre site on Mount Scopus, re-opened its doors after closing for five years, Joel Evans said. The trip was an opportunity to spread international goodwill, and was an extension of a family value of service. When you re in service of other people, you re in service of your God, Joel Evans said. The family members volunteer at their church, helping to fill orders and set up for a food service that it provides. Joel Evans also volunteers once a month at the Free Medical Clinic in Winchester. Sometimes ... serving someone is as easy as letting someone cut you off without honking at them, he said. Sometimes you tend to focus on these big things, but there s so many little acts of service you can do every day. The Evanses farm in Clarke County is an extension of that lesson. Susan Evans said the family moved there about 10 years ago from Winchester and, before that, Chantilly. The reality of their farm is larger than their initial vision, so Evans splits his time between his dentistry practice and the farm, where he cuts hay, mows, and checks the fence lines for fallen trees. He s got the funniest dental office, Susan Evans said. He ll take produce out of our garden every morning to the office. People just snatch it up. And they ask him all the time, Shouldn t you have cantaloupes now? Hopefully as our kids grow up, they ll see the benefit of what we ve tried to make them do of just good hard work, she said.
