The Cause
This September I will be volunteering my time and skills in Lesvos, Greece with Crisis Management Association, CMA (https://crisismanagementassociation.com/) to treat asylum seekers and refugees fleeing war and persecution.
What I will be doing
I will be providing much needed emergency dental care such as removal of teeth and basic routine treatment to the refugees and asylum seekers from 9th to 13th September 2024. I will also be participating in preventative oral health sessions mostly with children to raise awareness and to deliver oral hygiene instructions.
How your donations will be used
My volunteering trip is entirely self-funded but any donation that you provide will assist me in providing a donation directly to CMA. CMA relies completely on such generous contributions to run their two surgery clinic and pay for the salary of their staff, tools and material. This ensures that CMA can continue their valuable work in the foreseeable future and sustain this charitable operation
I have chosen to work with CMA because of their collaborative approach which promotes mutual economic integration by providing paid jobs to Greek healthcare works, refugees and asylum seekers and empowering both groups to take a leading role in their operation. This to me is sustainability at its very core.
Why this cause is close to my heart
It has always been my intention to give back in any way I can. As a dentist, I am in an incredibly fortunate position to have developed the skills to relieve someone’s pain fairly quickly and simply. This, of course, is what I do as my everyday job. Being given the opportunity to provide such care to people who have been forced to flee their own country though is even more special to me. Many of us can relate to the agony of toothache and know how debilitating this can be, I just can’t imagine what it must feel like to experience toothache in a completely foreign country and not knowing who can help. I would like to do all I can to help them.
Thank you so much for all support and there are some fabulous goodies to be won :)
