Volunteers needed for Dental Mission to Liberia


Operation Mobilization's ship, Logos Hope, will be in Liberia, West Africa, and a medical/dental outreach is planned for Monrovia where there are two dentists for the one and half million people (and there is not any dentist for the other two million in the rest of the country). Obviously, the need is desperate, and we have the opportunity to show God's love and compassion to these people through relief of dental pain and infection.

The team will stay aboard the ship, private cabins for one or two people will be provided and spouses are welcome. Meals will be provided either in the ship's dinning room or at the outpatient location ashore.

Cost will be your airfare plus 25 Euros/day for meals and transportation, and the date is 11-26 August, or any of these dates if you are not able to volunteer for the entire trip. Dental instruments and supplies will be provided. Oral surgeons and general dentists comfortable with extractions are needed.

Christian Relief Uganda

 

Christian Relief Uganda is a charity aiming to demonstrate Jesus’ love by providing opportunity and hope for the poorest in Uganda, empowering them to become self-sufficient.

 

Dental hygienist Barbara Koffman has been organising dental missions offering pain-relief clinics in rural areas since 2004. She takes out dental and non-dental teams twice each year and is always delighted to have new volunteers. As Barbara is a member of Dentaid’s Action Group on Infant Oral Mutilation (IOM), she is at the forefront of innovative educational programmes to combat this pernicious practice and in March 2010 is planning to take not only a clinical team but an oral health education group to teach the local people about dental health and also the dangers of IOM. All volunteers will be trained to offer IOM talks, Oral Health Education, basic hand washing recommendations and advice on a balanced diet.

 

Barbara is also looking for a Christian to accompany her on each mission as a spiritual mentor, giving help and encouragement, but without clinical or educational responsibilities.

 

If you are interested in participating in any way, or know someone who would, please contact Barbara on 07970 163798 or email: bkoffmancru @ hotmail.com. Further details are available from www.christianreliefuganda.org and on IOM from www.dentaid.org
