Dental Volunteers for Israel
(The Probe-UK) Dr. Satinder Matharu - In 1980, Holocaust survivor Trudi Birger set up Dental Volunteers for Israel (DVI), a non-profit organization that provides comprehensive dental care to impoverished children, Holocaust survivors, and the elderly, regardless of race or religion, all without charge. In 2019 DVI had 140 volunteers from 19 different countries. Its clinic in Jerusalem treats Israeli Arabs and Palestinians, Jews, African refugees and Ukrainian refugees. DVI trains 5 Palestinian and Arab dentists annually to help advance their careers. Its clinic also runs a Free Denture Project for the elderly.
