Summer Newsletter: 2021 Projects!

Posted .

Dear GDR Family,

Global Dental Relief has some exciting news! We are working on new initiatives to ensure sustained support for the children we serve. In the coming weeks, we will announce a new program to support the children who are near and dear to our hearts.

While we wait for the right time to resume field work, we need you – our family of volunteers and supporters – to help reimagine our dental clinics and travel framework. Click here to complete our volunteer survey which will aid GDR in gauging the timing, clinic structure, and circumstances needed to resume field dental clinics. Although it is still premature, we are looking ahead to 2021 and a time when we can meet you again in the field!

We are accepting volunteers on our 2021 projects. In light of the pandemic, we have flexible cancelation and rescheduling guidelines in place. Check out our website for the latest information on updated booking policies – you can reserve your spot in 2021 without worrying about losing your deposit!

Although daily life feels very different than it did a few short months ago, here at GDR we believe in new beginnings. We are excited to share our new program with you in the coming weeks. It is the children we are committed to serving who inspire us to remain hopeful, forward thinking, and proactive. They need us more than ever – it is our calling to show up for them.

Here’s to New Beginnings – Kim, and The GDR Team


We need help from every single one of you to help shape the future of GDR. Previous volunteers, long time supporters, and those who have never been on a GDR project all have valuable insight into what comes next.
