Cambodia
There is a huge unmet need for dental care of an acceptable standard. Areas of
Cambodia have shown the worst oral health of young children around the world.
Cambodia is 95% Buddhist and has progressively become receptive to Christianity. Projects
include
supporting and providing resources to Dr. Frank Cho´s free dental
clinic in Cambodia.

Los Angeles
State and local budget cuts put tremendous strain on local clinics. Many
individuals in Los Angeles, including the homeless, are left with greatly
decreased access to medical care. As of 2011, over 1.7 million people without insurance currently reside in Los Angeles County, and many are left to suffer in
ongoing pain. Los Angeles Christian Health Center (located in downtown Los Angeles)
established their free dental clinic in 1996 to assist those in need. Volunteers typically commit to at least
three hours per month for common dental treatments. There is currently an increased demand
for services thus additional volunteers are always welcome. The clinic is
typically open Monday through Thursday between 8:00am to 11:00am and 12:00pm to
3:00pm.
