In March 2006, Team Tobatí joined forces with the UCONN Dental School to organize a service trip to Tobatí.  Adam Cohen, a Kingswood-Oxford graduate and current dental student, worked with Ben Cruse and other Team Tobatí leaders to organize the service trip.  A group of skilled and enthusiastic students and a Professor from the UCONN dental school traveled to Tobatí for a week to offer a series of free dental clinics to the poor of Tobatí.  The group traveled to rural villages throughout Tobatí and treated hundreds of children and adults.  Dental care is a severely lacking throughout rural Paraguay.  Most children lack any formal attention from a dentist.  This trip provided a great service for the people of Tobatí and has also inspired dentists from Asunción to organize free clinics in Tobatí.
