Passionate About:

I am passionate about getting involved in the community around me so that I may make a positive impact on the lives of others. I especially love working with kids, which is why I am involved with College Mentors for Kids on campus, and am excited to interact with the children on this medical outreach trip! The reason I chose the medical field for my future career was so that I could make connections with uniquely diverse people, and to be someone they could trust to help them.

Butler University Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, July 2019



Anna's Message

My name is Anna Restivo and I am a freshman at Butler University! I am so passionate about the work that Volunteers Around the World does. This organization will provide me with hands-on experience in the medical field and give me the opportunity to help those in need. In July 2019, I am going to the Dominican Republic where my team and I will set up clinics for all ages! I would appreciate any donation you make, as it gets me one step closer to my goal and being able to go!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Butler University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this upcoming summer! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Butler will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in the Dominican Republic.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of February 18-22, 2019
