We're currently involved in the following projects:

Communicable Diseases Transmission In Healthcare Settings - We are working directly with hospitals in the area to educate the       staff about cross-contamination and to train them to help               minimize diseases transmission. Some local hospitals still do not       have effective sterilization equipment or techniques.

 

Handicapped Children-unfortunately a great many of the children   who are born handicapped in China end up in orphanages. We work with an orphanage in the heart of Hefei City where we provide much needed dental care for the handicapped children.

 

Dental Professional Training- We currently provide training to        teach updated dental and health techniques to resident dentists,       dental nurses, and dental technicians. Our training includes a wide     variety of in-depth hands-on training from dental care training to     proper chairside  methods.

We are in the process of building a new training center in Hefei City - our board members have pledged $125,000 to the project and we     need another $325,000 in donations. The new training center will be a modern facility where we can train the dental professionals the       techniques they need to serve their community effectively.

 

Public Education Seminars - working with the local government     and its channels, we provide monthly seminars open to the               public where they can learn basic dental care and ask questions         about maintaining their dental health. Each time we give one of these seminars we have an overwhelming attendance and positive response from the public.

 

Scholarship And Mobile Dental Clinic Programs - we are currently in the process of putting a scholarship program in place to train        junior college graduates and jobless high school students to become dental nurses, and dental technicians. This scholarship program will   need $150,000 for proper training and placement of dental health      care workers in the Hefei City area.

We have a capital campaign for $675,000, for the purpose of            creating a mobile dental clinic. This clinic will be used for bringing        urgently needed dental care and prevention programs to rural areas of Anhui Province. On our staff, we have experience creating and       sustaining similar programs in the US, specifically serving migrant      farm workers from  Mexico working in the United States.
