Guadalajara (Mexico) Orphanage Project

Our volunteering in Guadalajara (Mexico) Orphanage project is still a great way to perform humanitarian dental service. In the past many of our members have gone with their famililies and/or staffs to help with the dental needs of disadvantaged children. Those who have had that experience report much joy in getting to know the children and providing a real service to them. Most desire to do it again and again.
That opportunity is now being amplified and simplified. Dr. Francis Alder has been asked to oversee and coordinate that project. We are grateful to Brother Delfin Herrera, who built the first orphanage and who for 17 years has always been a help to facilitate the dental service there. He is now the important local connection to find and establish the needed relationship with new orphanages in the Guadalajara area.
Dr. Steven Sorensen and his wife, JoAnn,a hygienist, will be the trainers and will provide the ongoing support for all who sign up for this great project. A sincere thanks to Steve, Francis, and Delfin for working together to set up this simplified and effective plan.
If you wish to go to Guadalajara or Puerto Vallarta, even if this is your first time to provide humanitarian dental service, just call Dr. Alder to establish the date and location of an orphanage where you can serve. The Sorensens will provide the appropriate training and direct you toward a successful and fulfilling service experience. Much of the ongoing helps will be found on our Web Site, www.academyofldsdentists.com.
Check it often for information on this project as well as ideas for other great venues where you can render dental service.
