Ran allim & Welcome

 

Dr. Barry StaleyThank you for visiting the Micronesia Dental Support Project. This is a small operation of volunteers dedicated to supporting the work of dentists in the developing Pacific island nation of Micronesia. We do so by bringing teams of volunteer dental professionals and health educators to Micronesia's outer islands to provide free dental services, resources, and training for the people.

Micronesia is truly one of the most beautiful and unique places on our planet earth. It also has some of the most isolated people in the world who live in what are known in Micronesia as the "outer islands."

These outer islands are usually no more than a strip of land with coconuts and breadfruit trees growing abundantly. They often are the forgotten people who need all types of services the most.

I especially invite adventurous dentists to join the team or anyone of goodwill to support our effort with dental supplies, funds, or time.

Thank you,

Barry Staley, DDS,
Executive Director
