Dental Aid Network Jordan Jan 2023
On 6th January I will be realising a longstanding ambition of joining a group of volunteers to provide dental aid to impoverished communities. Jordan hosts the second largest number of refugees per capita worlwide (Source UNHCR) with the majority fleeing conflict in Syria and also from Palestine and other impoverished areas across the Middle East.
Dental Aid Network (DAN) was founded in 2014 with the aim to promote oral health for the impoverished around the world that cannot access dental care. We hope to achieve this through oral health education, prevention techniques and by providing simple restorative and emergency dental treatment.
Learn more about the charity and its mission http://www.dentalaidnetwork.org/
I will be aiming to give money raised on this site directly to the poorest people we encounter and treat.
Alternatively you can donate direct to the charity to help with equipment and materials http://www.dentalaidnetwork.org/donate/ as a registered charity your donation can go further with GiftAid.
Finally a thanks to my cousins husband Dr Imran Alawiye who has provided me a quick start to Arabic for dentists! Some homework to do before I leave!
Merry Xmas!
