Passionate About:

I am thoroughly enjoying being in my fourth year at Cardiff university and have experienced many things for the first time, two of them include skiing and cheer-leading. When I am not doing either of these I love socialising with friends.There are so many places I would love to visit and I plan to go travelling once qualified. It is such an amazing opportunity to go to Ghana to both see the country and carry out dental treatment on people that really need it. So thank you for all your contributions to help make this opportunity possible.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
