In this episode, University of Connecticut dental student Briti Prajapati and social work student Monique Aslan interview Laura Spero, founder of the Jevaia Foundation, which provides oral healthcare to rural communities in Nepal. Spero describes the foundation's humble origins and the challenges of providing care in a geographically isolated region with limited resources. She emphasizes the community-based approach and the importance of training local providers to deliver preventative and primary care.
