Interested in helping out? We appreciate the aid of volunteers from all professions and walks of life. Whether you’re a dentist, a teacher, or a stay-at-home parent, your help will be valuable at Sonrisas!
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.
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.
If you’ve already signed up to be a Sonrisas volunteer, you may want to do some preparation before the trip. You can learn more about Honduras or what it’s like to be a dental missionary. Before you leave on your trip, it might also be helpful to study some basic Spanish medical phrases.
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.
