Interested in helping out? We appreciate the aid of volunteers from all professions and walks of life. Whether you\u2019re a dentist, a teacher, or a stay-at-home parent, your help will be valuable at Sonrisas!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

One way to help is by coming with us on a trip. Sonrisas volunteers make a last impact on countless children and adults in places like Honduras and Ecuador. Obviously dentists play a large role in our work, but non-dental staff can also provide useful assistance during our trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order to ensure that we can save every dollar possible for making a difference in our host countries, our volunteers pay their own way on these trips and Sonrisas provides supplies. Generally, the all-inclusive trips cost just over $1000 before airfare and incidentals. This amount covers food, in-country, and accommodations. Tickets to Central and South America range from $500 to $1000.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve already signed up to be a Sonrisas volunteer, you may want to do some preparation before the trip. You can learn more\u00a0about\u00a0Honduras<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0what it\u2019s like to be a dental missionary.<\/a>\u00a0Before you leave on your trip, it might also be helpful to study some\u00a0basic Spanish medical phrases.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regardless of whether you choose to participate in a Sonrisas mission, we can also use your help right here in the USA. A great amount of time has to be spent planning our mission trips, and with no paid administration, the work is carried out by our volunteers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you would like to be a part of making a Sonrisas mission a reality, please contact us at sonrisassiempre.09@gmail.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
