Project Yeti has two volunteer dental clinics in Nepal.

​The main clinic is in the Kopan Monastery, overlooking Kathmandu Valley. 

The second clinic is the remote and beautiful Solukhumbu.

Our aim is to provide a high level of dental care to the underprivileged people of Nepal, including monks, nuns, and orphans.

​Dr Manos began the project in 2012 with partner, Helen, to provide dental care and oral health education in Kathmandu.

The Kopan Monastery Clinic is near Boudhanath, overlooking the Kathmandu valley

​The second clinic which is near Salleri in Lower Solukhumbu, provides treatment for the school children at the Mount Everest School.

This week we take on Edwardstown Rotary Club, in a Quiz night at the Maid of Auckland Hotel, 926 South Road, Edwardstown.

So brush up on your General knowledge and be ready to WIN!!
