WHDO is a 501 (c) (3) public charity.In 2008, Dr. Raymond S. Damazo, and his wife Gail, built a state-of-the-art three operatory dental clinic, located contiguous with the Siana Springs Lodge, Masai Mara, Kenya. The Narok Medical Director for the Maasai estimates it will be the primary dental clinic serving upwards of 50,000 Maasai. The clinic provides free dentistry five days per week and employs a staff of local Maasai. All dentists are professional and volunteer to provide this service for free. Most are from the US and several volunteers were schooled in England.On July 1, 2010, Dr. Raymond Damazo gifted the Maasai Dental Clinic with all Its assets including a Custom Toyota Safari vehicle to the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry and Its alumni association (NASDAD). The Maasai Dental Clinic will become an International Teaching Center with one faculty member and two senior students cycling through.Loma Linda School of Dentistry is seeking volunteers to work with students as Adjunct Faculty members. It is possible to apply for an Adjunct Faculty member status and be preapproved for a mutually agreed work schedule. Please check www.nasdad.org for more details and also Calendar of Opportunity (coming soon).Volunteers are also sought after for work at the clinic during the summers when there are no students and at that point, Adjunct Faculty status is not needed.
