Over the past seven summers, Dr. Nazarian has had the opportunity to spend two weeks at a camp in rural Armenia providing free dental care for orphaned and disadvantaged children. Camp, or "jambar" as it is known in Armenian, has become one of the many programs set up through the Church of Armenia for orphans as well as the underprivileged. Similar to many of the summer camps in the United States, the children develop friendships and memories that are both invaluable and also last a lifetime. One of the more unique aspects of the camp along with the regular day to day camp activities is the opportunity for the children to receive dental care performed by passionate and dedicated dentists and volunteers from all over the world.
Dr. Nazarian recently returned from his August 2015 Dental Outreach Trip. What a joy it was to return and see many of the previous year's camp staff and the volunteer dentists from all over the world. This year's August team included Drs. Viken Garabedian and Charles Tatosian of Laguna Niguel, CA, Dr. Jeff Wittmus of Chicago, IL and others. Hundreds of cavities were filled, dozens of teeth were treated with root canal therapy, and all the children were given full exams, cleaning and preventative teeth treatments. All of this using the most up to date techniques and the latest in materials that each of the team members brought with them to the camp in their luggage this year!
Dr. Nazarian is grateful for his experience at camp this summer and in his words, "The rewards of volunteer work have been life-changing for me. The friends I have made, the memories, the appreciation, and love received from the children we have treated, as well as the feelings of self-satisfaction and fulfillment, are truly priceless."
Welcome back Dr. Nazarian!
