DESCRIPTION:
Are you a dentist, oral surgeon, or dental hygienist with a passion for travel and a desire to improve the life of others? Then you are invited to participate in the first dental mission to Cambodia for 10 days in May 2020. Our journey provides a unique balance of direct service and cultural immersion with hands-on dental work.
Volunteer service trips are the foundation of our organization. There are numerous opportunities to interact with villagers, visit monasteries and historical sites, embark on stunning hikes in and around temples, or just relax.
Our dental service program primarily operates in villages in the Siem Reap area. Depending on the location of the selected community, coordination and logistics, cost, and participant availability, our programs generally last between 10 and 14 days and optimally run from March to October. Primarily, basic service trip volunteers will be working within our partner charity, Heartprint, providing dental care for local children, most for the first time. You’ll build bonds for life and leave with a great understanding of a wonderful and unique culture.
It’s not all work and no play though - we’ll include sightseeing as well. Visit the ancient Temples of Angkor, take a boat ride on the Tonle Sap and ride in the back of an ox cart. At night, browse the night markets, watch a movie under the stars with the local kids, or enjoy a peaceful massage.
What to Expect
Volunteer service includes 5 days of dental hygiene, assessment and dental care. As part of the trip preparation, we provide you with resources about Cambodia’s history, culture, and way of life and it is our hope you go home to create awareness for Cambodians by sharing your experience of making a difference.
