It feels like only a week ago we were working hard in Naranjito, yet the “back to school” season is in full swing already!
From July 14th through July 19th, seven KinderSmile Foundation volunteers traveled to the remote, mountainside village of Naranjito, about three hours drive from Santiago, Dominican Republic. Together, three dentists and six assistants brought smiles to the faces of 110 patients in the Dominican Republic—dental care valued at more than $137,194.
This was the first year that our annual global outreach trip partnered with another charity organization (Somos Amigos) allowing us to volunteer alongside other dental and medical professionals from across the country, UK, Haiti and DR. From providing direct patient care to distributing pharmaceutical supplies, our team came home with new skills, new friends, and a new appreciation for running water! #ItTakesAVillageKSF
