Dental Mission Complete!

The Pureland Project echoes the voices of the Tibetan nomads of Yushu saying THANK YOU!  Thanks to your generous donation, our dental mission was a huge success.  140 Tibetans received dental care and over 300 learned about oral health: from how to brush and floss to the importance of daily oral care. 

Given the success of this year’s project and its popularity among the nomads in Yushu, we will continue and expand the program next year.  All donations received after October 1st will be allocated to the 2019 dental mission.  Additionally, keep an eye out for a new and updated campaign which will be online in the next few weeks!

Once again, thank you for donating to help bring dental care to the Tibetan nomads of Yushu.  We would also like to extend a huge thanks to the incredible dentists who offered their services on the dental tour and Mint Dental.  Many thanks to the Schein Foundation and Nomad Equipment for the medical supplies.  Finally, a big thank you goes to Amar for helping to organize the trip. 

For more information on the dental project and The Pureland Project's other initiatives, we invite you to visit our website at www.thepurelandproject.org, and keep up to date via Twitter and Facebook.  You can also find information on our blog!

Thank you again, and we look forward to your continued support.

With gratitude,
Meg Ferrigno
