Progress in Fund-raising

Good news! As of January, 2005 $16,000 has been donated to the Academy Humanitarian Service Fund. The fund was launched for the purpose of raising $500,000 to establish and maintain two dental service clinics in dental schools in developing countries, the first being in Lima, Peru, and the second in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The good experiences that have resulted from these first two clinics have convinced us that we are on the right track. We are providing the best mode of humanitarian service, because we are teaching local dentists to provide better and more efficient care of their patients, including our Church members in their areas.

It takes up to $50,000 to establish each of these clinics, even considering that most of the dental equipment is donated, and there are several more countries we are exploring to set up new dental service clinics. Maintaining the clinics may take additional annual capital expenditures, even though the local dental schools assume the responsibility for the maintenance of these clinics. LDS dentists worldwide have a marvelous chance to make a difference in the lives of the local providers and thence the local citizens in these countries.

Please consider making donations on a regular basis.
