Volunteer Dental Hygienist

“Want a rewarding experience? I have visited Nepal three times working as a dental hygienist. You will be administering to children and adults who may have never seen a dentist before – hard work, fun and fulfilling. You will be greatly appreciated for whatever amount of time you can volunteer.”

Tom Grams, D.D.S.
Volunteer Dentist
(in memoriam)

"The children are marvelous patients. Smiling, unfailingly cooperative and always ready with a smile and a thank you. Doing straight-forward restorative dentistry to save many teeth from being extracted in a few years is quite gratifying. It is basic dentistry with a maximum return for the patient and for the volunteer."

“Planning to start dental hygiene school in the fall, this is the best experience I could have imagined! I plan to return and volunteer again after I complete school and recommend this wonderful experience to anyone with similar goals.”

“This was my second trip as a Nepal volunteer for the Global Dental Relief. I am not a dental professional, but found the experience deeply rewarding, knowing that I assisted in getting critical dental care to children in need. One of the highlights this time was taking a day and teaching the children about Colorado wildlife. They all know what a moose looks like now!”

Mark and Ardis Miller
Volunteers

“After seeing a request in the Colorado Mountain Club newsletter, Ardis and I offered to bring two bags of dental supplies to Kathmandu when we visited Nepal in February of 2002. The experience of helping to deliver the donated dental supplies was very satisfying and our meeting with Himalayan Dental Relief staff was informative and interesting.”

“The special moments I spent helping with the volunteer jobs in the dental clinic were wonderful for me. I was very happy to join with the dental clinic and help the school children. I hope to meet such kind hearted people again and am encouraged to do the same action for poor children myself in the future."

Raju, 16

“I felt happy to help with the dental clinic for the students of Mangal Dvip School. Tom, the volunteer dentist, was kind and taught me many things about teeth. The days passed so quickly and I will be grateful if they invite me to work more in the future.

Thank you so much for dentists helping the Himalayan children with such an important part of our lives."
