June 18, 2024 Present & Future

PRESENT: The Jamaica Dental Project is now a Charitable Non-Profit Corp …. a 501(c)(3). It was a process but we finally attained this new status. It gives us the chance to directly accept tax-free donations and directly control those funds. Being cut-loose by VCU and the MCV Foundation has pushed us to become more independent .. which in the long run is a good thing. Soon we’ll have a link on this website to donate to our account.

FUTURE: We have plans to be in Trelawny Jan 26 to Fev 9, 2025. Clinic site is at the Seventh Day Adventist Building in Duncans. Much of our equipment will be loaned to us by Great Shape, Inc once again. Housing is reserved at Silver Sands too. We have a number of previous volunteers already committed. We’re hoping to have a few dental students along as well. VCU will not have any affiliation. The students will be acting as individuals.

Should any one have interest in participating ….. send an email to jamaicadentalproject@gmail.com
