DominicanRepublic Dental Mission

Our partner is a non-profit hospital called El Buen Samaritano (Good Samaritan). This hospital has a single dental chair and a mobile dental clinic located in an R V. This mobile clinic provides treatment to the rural areas surrounding the town of La Romana. Our mission teams take the R V into the rural areas called “bateyes” and treats the patients in their community. These patients live in the “bateyes” are the sugar cane workers and their families. The average salary for a sugar cane worker is $8 a day for the 6 months sugar cane is harvested. Most are refugees from Haiti with no legal papers to allow them to get a better job and a better living in the cities. Therefore, the cycle of poverty continues unless divine intervention occurs. Most of these bateyes have no access to public transportation, limited electricity, minimal access to water and no proper sanitation. Our team of eight (8) will be going to serve these communities by providing free dental and medical care. 
We as a team have decided to fundraising to bring extreme value to these communities. The funds will go towards the cost of travel, visa's, dental supplies (Local anaesthetic, Filling Material, Instruments etc), medical supplies (Syringes, Antibiotics and Other medications), clothing, toys and other essential toiletries that would benefit the people in the bateyes). 
The team will be serving during the period of January 25-February2, 2020. This gives us until December 31, 2019 to accomplish the majority of our fundraising.
Your support would mean the world to us as a team and we would be ever grateful for the support. We commit to providing value by documenting the mission and keeping you as a supporter involved all along the way.
Most importantly your support would help Miguel and other little kids who live their lives in such extreme poverty and have to live with dental pain and other medical conditions because they don't have the means.
We are humbled by your generous act and are very grateful for any donation. We are grateful for very little. Even a penny would help!
