Ways to Donate:
We welcome participation by dental professionals from around the world. For more information about volunteering, please contact our headquarters at adrp@verizon.net. Volunteers pay their own expenses and $15 a day for board and room while staying at our project location. Full-service accommodations in local guest houses are also available for those desiring more support, at a somewhat higher cost.
While there is some risk associated with volunteering, no one has had any problem since our program began. A visa must be obtained from the Afghan Consulate in Washington, DC, requiring a support letter from our organization regarding the period of your visit. For more information, please contact our headquarters.

ABOUT USIn January 2009, our volunteer center in Kabul opened. With seven bedrooms and complete utilities, we will be able to host many volunteers in complete comfort and security.
