Charity Anywhere Trip to Galapagos Islands

November 20th to December 1st, 2002, Charity Anywhere, Intl. directed a rewarding service expedition to the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador, S.A. Around 50 volunteers from the United states and mainland Ecuador spent a most memorable Thanksgiving serving on these islands famous for their unique species of wildlife and beauty.

Academy member Jeffrey Hill, D.D.S of Ogden Utah, along with Dr. Washington Zambrano of Quito, Ecuador spearheaded a four-dentist team that attended to over 400 patients, including psychology interviews, in ten days using portable dental equipment. Gratefully, a large amount of restorative dentistry was performed, saving far more teeth than were extracted on the trip. Additionally, several significant contruction projects where initiated or facilitated.

In conjunction with the Academy, Charity Anywhere will sponsor two return trips in 2003: May 23rd - June 1st and Nov. 21st - Nov. 30th. These trips incorporate holidays to minimize lost work time. We are looking for dentists, medical doctors, optometrists, general volunteers (especially Spanish speakers), and cash donations for these expeditions.
