Overseas
 Health Volunteers Overseas (HVO) is a private non-profit organization
committed to improving health care in developing countries through training and education. By emphasizing teaching, HVO aims to create an indigenous group of trained health workers who can teach others. This builds an ongoing capability that will benefit the population long after the volunteer has departed.
The Dentistry Programs of HVO are
sponsored by the American Dental
Association and all volunteers must
be members of the
ADA.  Dentists are solicited to volunteer at sites around the world including Cambodia, Honduras, Laos, Nicaragua, St. Lucia, Tanzania and Vietnam. Assignments range from one to four weeks. Volunteers are responsible for all expenses incurred although housing is provided for volunteers at some program sites. Please visit the HVO Web site for more information: www.hvousa.org. You may also apply for HVO membership by downloading the application in Microsoft Word format and submitting it by mail. Take the time to make a difference by volunteering!
