The mission of American Friends of Dental Volunteers for Israel (AFDVI) is to promote oral health and prevent suffering among at-risk children and youth and to promote volunteerism and cross-cultural understanding. Through fundraising and volunteer recruitment efforts in the United States, AFDVI supports the work of Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI) at the Trudi Birger Clinic, which provides free dental care and oral health education to Jerusalem’s underprivileged children and youth regardless of racial, ethnic, or religious background.
