As many of you may (or may not) know, I’ve participated in numerous dental volunteer assignments to places like Senegal, Jamaica, The Gambia, and Bangladesh. This past April, I spent a week in the Guatemala Highlands, helping to start a new dental clinic through the Open Wide Legacy Foundation and Local Hope. I was so impressed with this group that I agreed to co-lead a trip back there in January of 2025.
We are actively looking for dental team members or anyone else who desires the incredibly enriching experience of providing much needed services to a vastly underserved population. You do not need to be in the dental field to participate, many dentists in the past have brought their spouses and children, there’s no shortage of services that are needed, and each person will be matched to activities based on their individual skills. The trip includes stops at numerous beautiful locations, we definitely mix work with play!
