We are a non-profit foundation dedicated to breaking the cycle of poverty by educating impoverished indigenous young women through a two year vocational dental hygiene training program. By educating women; the central focus of the family; we create leaders who understand the value of education for all of their children and prevention in dentistry and medicine. These women also participate in the community and vote. As the students progress through the program they and the staff provide preventative and restorative dental care to over 7; 000 patients in the underserved populations in Cochabamba and the surrounding rural areas.
We are looking for volunteers from all walks of life; with all manner of skills; talents; and knowledge. In particular; we need individuals with the following kinds of background and experience.

Volunteers with an enthusiastic spirit with skills in various areas.
There is no cost to participate but volunteers are responsible for covering their own living expenses. If a volunteer is going to stay for an extended period of time or in specific cases (upon interview); we would be able to provide free housing and possibly cover food costs if the applicant suits our needs perfectly. Otherwise; food costs would be minimal.
