Dental Care Program in Spanish

As mentioned before dental care in Guatemala is ranked one of the lowest in the world. Most of the children have no access to dental care and education about dental hygiene. The situation is quite alarming. In Kamalbe we are looking for medical or dental students who wish to donate their time and skills to improve current situation while given the opportunity to improve their Spanish. 

This program is 1 month long and is available throughout the year.
