Volunteer Dental Clinics
Volunteer in an intensive week-long dental clinic in:
- Nepal
- Ladakh, India
- Vietnam
- Guatemala
Dental clinics are rich, demanding and rewarding. Volunteer dentists and hygienists work in basic conditions. Dentists use portable dental units to provide exams, extractions and restorative care. Hygienists offer oral hygiene education and first time cleaning for children.
Essential to a successful clinic, non-medical volunteers manage the lines of patients, assist in record keeping, keep track of children and help with instruments and charting.
Volunteers are moved by the sense of service, and by how much more they receive from the children themselves. Following the clinic, volunteers may join an optional trek or cultural tour of local sights.

Scarf Knitting Project
Join enthusiastic knitters who produce hundreds of colorful scarves a year. Scarves are handed out to children we treat at dental clinics and are a wildly popular addition to the clinic services. Scarves should be 40" to 60" long by 5" to 8" wide. They can be easily made with scraps of yarn but should be washable. For more information, contact Pam Mathews at -- pammath@msn.com, 303 399 1384 or ship scarves directly to her at: 420 Adams, St, Unit D, Denver, CO 80206. |
