CMC volunteers work in partnership with Global Dental volunteers in our dental clinic in Leh, Ladakh to provide first time care to children in need. Following the clinic, CMC volunteers will join Chip Drumwright, CMC trip leader, for an 8 day hike through the Markha Valley. This trek is limited to CMC members – more information about this special opportunity can be found on the CMC website: Go to the CMC website. |

Our Mission -- Dental Care for Children
 Global Dental Relief brings free dental care to impoverished children of Nepal, northern India, Vietnam, Guatemala, and beginning in 2013, Kenya.
Volunteer dentists, hygienists, assistants and non-medical volunteers deliver treatment and preventive care in dental clinics that serve children in schools, orphanages and remote villages.
Logistics for volunteers on these projects are coordinated by Global Dental Expeditions.

Fresh News From the Field |

Global Dental hosts volunteer dental clinics in five countries:
- Nepal
- Ladakh, India
- Vietnam
- Guatemala
- Kenya
Since 2001, Global Dental has hosted over 916 dedicated dentists, hygienists, dental assistants and non-medical volunteers. Volunteers have treated over 61,267 children with first time and ongoing dental care.
Global Dental recalls each population of children every two years to deliver continuous care. After ten years, we see children returning for their third or fourth visits.
The results are clear
-- extractions are rare, restorations small, and children are aware of the importance of diet and consistent oral hygiene.
This is the sustainable legacy we strive to leave with every child we treat.

Dear Friends –
Greetings from Nepal where 15 hardy volunteers are finishing up our fourth dental camp of the fall. It has turned cold here -- morning fog shrouds Kathmandu and we are grateful on the days the sun burns the mist away by mid-day.
Fall has been full of productive work for Global Dental Relief, with 45 dedicated volunteers bringing dental care to over 4200 kids in Nepal. At the same time, Kim, Vanessa and Mark Mathews led our September Vietnam clinic, and Mark Lisagor and Sue McEvoy led two clinics in Ladakh, India. All told, the past three months have hosted 90 dental and non-dental volunteers who treated more than 6000 kids -- it has been a time packed with joyful moments, lots of special kids, and tremendous effort by each volunteer.
