Dear Potential Volunteer,

We welcome your participation in our Afghanistan clinic and school.  Volunteers are expected to pay their own travel expenses and $15 a day for board and room if staying in our guest house.  We provide cooked meals, comfortable semi-private rooms, hot showers, laundry, and internet. 

Our staff speaks both English and Dari.  Our clinic consists of three operatories with x-ray machines and modern equipment, a staff dentist and assistant, mechanic, project manager, and 24-hour security.  It is open six days a week, year-round.  Volunteers may travel as individuals or as a group.  A driver is available to pick you up at the airport and take you to our facility in Karte Char. 

If you would like to go with a group from your area, please indicate this.  Two weeks or longer is recommended.  A visa is necessary for those who are not of Afghan origin.  Visas are obtained by sending a completed passport application to the Afghan Embassy in Washington, DC. 

We encourage volunteers to bring dental anesthetic, analgesics, composite bonding agent, surgical instruments, and cavitron-type teeth cleaning machines as checked baggage as donations to the clinic.  Thank you for your interest.  To obtain more specific information, please access our website at www.adrpinc.org, e-mail us at adrp@verizon.net, or call 805-963-2329.
