Abstract
The Alpha Omega Foundation US is the US philanthropic arm of the oldest international dental organization, the Alpha Omega International Dental Society, which has student and alumni chapters in more than 20 countries. From its beginning, the foundation has endeavored to raise funds supporting oral health programs that provide care to children and adults who lack accessibility to oral health services while training dental professionals to care for the most vulnerable populations. Today, in light of recent violence and human rights abuses that have taken place in Israel, the work of the foundation is more important than ever.
