**Urgent: Volunteer Dentist and Dental Assistant needed: Carpathian Mountains, Western Ukraine (Oct/Nov 2026)**

AdventRelief Ukraine has been providing free medical, dental, and psychological care to vulnerable communities affected by the war in Ukraine since 2022. This winter, with a UN-funded partner, we're providing health services for displaced communities in Zakarpattia, near the Hungarian and Romanian borders. Our focus is once again on child health.

Our next clinic is a paediatric dental clinic for 100 children. They've fled with their families from eastern Ukraine to a place of safety, but have minimal access to healthcare and no access to dental care. We have the clinic, the funding, and the kids. Now we need you!

**The role:** One dentist and one dental assistant for 10–14 days before the end of November. You'll see about 10 children a day in our fully equipped mobile dental clinic.

**The location:** Far from the front lines, in the calmest part of Ukraine, an easy trip from Budapest. You'll be based in the beautiful Carpathian Mountains, known for thermal spas and mineral springs.

**We provide:** Airport transfer, hotel, in-country transport, and a translator.

**You bring:** An active dental license, an open heart, and about two weeks of your time. Pediatric experience is a plus.

**Interested?** Contact Sharon Harris, Country Director: [email protected] | WhatsApp & Signal +1 208 215 1422. Time is short, so please reach out soon if you are interested!

In Memoriam - Frank Teeuwen

Our team at AdventRelief International would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to the family of our dear friend Frank Teeuwen from Netherlands, who passed away last week after a brief illness. Frank was a lifetime humanitarian who served in the senior leadership of ADRA International. Over the past few years he was a dedicated part of a team working with ADRA Netherlands to raise funds to sponsor refugee children’s lifesaving malaria treatment at our refugee clinic in western Uganda - his work saved literally thousands of children’s lives.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones as they mourn the loss of this remarkable man. May his legacy of kindness and service live on.

* Update from Ukraine 🇺🇦 *

Our team in Ukraine is collaborating with the Department of Child Services in Zakarpattia Region in Western Ukraine and the well known Ukrainian nonprofit Nehemiah to improve access to healthcare services in the region.
Zakarpattia region is home to 200 000 internally displaced persons from the war-torn eastern regions. Many children from care homes in the east have been moved here for their safety.
This past week our team was able to meet with Svitlana Yakimela, the HOD of Child Services for the region to discuss strategies to improve health services to these facilities. We also met with Tetiana Machabeli, director of Nehemiah - their organisation provides valuable support to vulnerable groups throughout the region.
Our focus for the near future is on the provision of health services to children. One of the biggest gaps in health services is dental care and that service will be given priority over the next few months. We are fortunate to have Dr. Maria Rivis, orthodontist and senior lecturer at Uzhhorod National University working with our team to help coordinate this program. We already conducted our first primary dental clinic this past month in a rehabilitation centre in the region and will be doing more over the course of the year.

If you are a dentist/dental nurse/oral hygienist/paediatrician and would like to join our team in Ukraine this year contact us at [email protected].

* Update from Ukraine 🇺🇦 *

Our team in Ukraine has spent the last few weeks conducting very successful community health programs in an impoverished community in Western Ukraine with very limited access to healthcare.
Western Ukraine is now home to over 600 000 displaced persons who have fled from the fighting in the east, and the local healthcare system is feeling the strain.
This health program was operated through a partnership with Dr Pavlo Kolesnik and his wonderful team at Interfamily Clinic and Interfamily Space.
We’d like to thank our volunteers and especially Jessica Wyman from the Ukrainian nonprofit House of Compassion for helping to make this happen.
If you would like to join our team in Ukraine later this year contact us at [email protected].

*Update from Uganda 🇺🇬*

Our team from AdventRelief International were able to pay a site visit to the Kyaka II Medical Centre in the Kyaka II Refugee Settlement this past week. It was good to rejoin our site team and see the wonderful work being done there.
Our clinic, operated through a partnership with Ishaka Adventist Hospital and ADRA Uganda is running at full capacity seeing around 4000 patients every month. Due to funding cuts in the region, many of the other clinics have closed and as a result we have been overrun - especially the paediatric inpatient area that treats hundreds of very sick children each month - mostly with severe malaria and malnutrition.
Keeping this clinic funded and staffed is a huge challenge but we are thankful that we have been able to maintain this essential service for this vulnerable community due to ongoing donor support.
The deadly Ebola outbreak in North Kivu in the DRC is near and we pray for the safety of our team as they maintain this important service.

* Update from Ukraine 🇺🇦 *

We’d like to thank two members of our team - paramedic Rauri from Ireland and nursing sister Anna from Ukraine - for running a very successful Basic Life Support course for staff members of our partner organisation Nehemia. Hands-on first aid training like this saves lives.
Nehemia is a wonderful Ukrainian nonprofit that cares for orphans, displaced persons and vulnerable population groups in Ukraine and we look forward to collaborating with them in future community projects in Ukraine.

Our team in Ukraine are focusing on healthcare for children’s shelters, care homes and orphanages this year.
