Volunteering In Cambodia Doing Dentistry · 28 October 2012

Dentaid is one of the leading oral health charities in the world. Whilst still providing refurbished dental equipment, in recent years the charity has played vital roles in oral health promotion such as establishing innovative school prevention programmes and initiating various training schemes.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The UK charity Dentaid links in with the established New Zealand charity One-2-One in Cambodia who do dental and medical work. The Cambodia Tooth angel project brings desperately needed basic dental treatment to the most vulnerable and destitute people in Cambodia, these include orphans ,children and adolescents living on the streets, people with HIV,slum-dwellers and prisoners. A regular prison service has been set up. Within these there may be women with young children as carers outside may not be available. Mobile dental set ups are used in slums and provincial communities where visits will be up to one week. Dentaid among many activites has designed a Rotary Dentaid box; a large 'package' that gets shipped world wide. Literally a large wheelie bin containing all the key requistes of equipment, such as mobile suction, and consumables to enable a dental professional to deliver, in any locality in the world, basic oral health care and emergency treatment to those in need.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

I wanted to volunteer before I finally stopped dentistry and you will be helping me to make it as beneficial as I can to the 2 charities I am working with. Thanks .
