DesanaGiving

It won't be long now..... The OSF (Odontologos Sin Fronteras - Dentists Without Borders) Dental Campaign is only a little over a month away. This year, the campaign will start in a small community in Southern Peru - Tacna. Desana volunteers will be heading to Peru on July 23rd. New Desana Board Member Brian Gilleland and his wife Kathi will be accompanying Kathy and George Houk on this trip. Desana is once again sponsoring part of this dental campaign. These funds will assist with feeding the all volunteer dental team that will arrive from many countries; Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador, Spain and of course Peru. Last year the Desana volunteers met many wonderful dentists who give of their time and talents to help the poor and less fortunate people in rural Peru. Many of the same dentists will be returning for the 2011 Campaign. "Last year, we treated over 4,000 people!" said Hector Somocurcio, OSF President. The OSF Campaign is organized by Hector and Cusco Dentist Vladimir Oblitas Cuba.  Vladi is a good friend of Desana and has helped us with our March Dental Mission each year.
