MDSP seeks help with any of the following needs for our dental service trips to Micronesia. Please feel free to contact us for more information.

Transportation

Airfare – It costs approximately $1,800 roundtrip airfare to Micronesia per member of our team. The dentists are required to cover their own airfare costs, but MDSP needs funding for the Support Team including dental assistants, technical assistants, and others.

Frequent Flier Miles – United Airlines is the only airline that flies from Hawaii to the Micronesian islands. You can donate miles by purchasing a MDSP team member’s ticket using miles. Let us know if you can and we will let you know when and who you can support when we have a team to send out.

Clinic Supplies

To lessen the impact on already limited resources in the local government, MDSP seeks funding to purchase and ship the necessary equipment and supplies to operate our remote dental clinics:

Portable Dental Air Compressor ProStart (110 V) – $2,000: MDSP has three units from our 2008 trip, but need  additional units to expand the number of dentists to participate on our trips. (www.buydentalequipment.com)

Honda EU 2001i Generators – $2,000.00: MDSP has four reliable portable generators at a cost of $500 each to provide the necessary electricity for our dental compressors. We seek additional generators to expand the number of compressors to use for our teams. (www.hondapowerequipment.com)

Fuel for generators – $120: MDSP needs to purchase locally enough fuel for the generators during the week-long clinics.

Dental Supplies – $2,500: The MDSP dentists are asked to donate all the dental supplies needed for the dental procedures at a cost of approximately $2,500 per dentist. Any help from donors will lessen the financial impact on our volunteer dentists all of whom are required to cover their own expenses on our trips. Please download the PDF list of supplies needed.
