Please pass the word along!  If you have a website would you mind giving the following post a short plug? Thanks!

I am part of a club at Temple University Kornberg School of Dentistry that sends 9 students to Haiti once a year as part of an outreach group to provide dental care to impoverished Haitians. The Haiti Club has been around for several years now and I have had the honor of building the clubs website. (You’ll notice it looks a lot like my website).

During this trip which lasts for one week over 1,000 Haitians are treated. There have been a few instances where the outreach group have been able to treat severe odontogenic infections which left untreated would have resulted in death. It is a life changing experiance for faculty, students and the natives who benefit from the trip.

My plug is to basically ask for donations to the outreach group. 100% of the proceeds goes to fund the trip, there is NO skimming off the top. Rest assured that every dollar donated is a dollar well spent and no pockets are padded. The club works in affiliation with the Haitian Health Foundation, a legitimate charitable organization. Please take the time to check out the website, view photos of past trips (more pics coming soon), and then donate.

Every donation is tax deductible and after you donate a TAX ID number will be sent to you! You can use this number when you claim your taxes. The club is registered as a charitable organization and is official.

I do not benefit from this in any way, shape, or form. The cause of the group has become something I enjoy and have therefore donated my time and effort into doing this. These people have next to nothing and a little bit goes a long way. Thanks for helping!
