3 unusual facts about American Dental Volunteers for Israel


American Dental Volunteers for Israel

ADVI was set up after Dr. Breakstone first volunteered on Kibbutz Sha'ar HaAmakim in 1970.

Upon returning to the USA he established ADVI, and was able to secure the cooperation of the emissary of the Kibbutz Aliyah Desk in New York in placing hundreds of dentists who were prepared to offer their services for a minimum of two weeks each year in return for modest accommodations on a Kibbutz.

Its mission was to provide free high-level professional dental care for Israelis primarily on Kibbutzim.
