Demetrius Branch

Cusco, Peru

Passionate About:

Hello Family and friends, I am so excited to announce that I will be volunteering this summer in Cusco, Peru! This is an amazing opportunity and I cannot wait to learn more about dentistry. I have changed career paths and decided to pursue a career in dentistry. I’m excited to be able to help those in need in Peru, considering one of my passions is helping those around me. I am in the last semester of my junior year of College, and this will be my first time traveling out of the United States. When I'm not busy with school or work, I enjoy spending time with family, working out with friends, and finding new music. I am blessed to have this opportunity and would greatly appreciate any donations to help with my trip. With this experience, not only will I be helping others in need but exploring another country.

Volunteer Activity Message

Join UTSA on their Dental Outreach Internship to Peru this Summer! interns will have the opportunity to learn about various dental procedures, such as cleanings, restorations, fillings, and extractions, learn about the current healthcare system in Peru and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW Global at UTSA will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW Global is bringing full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW Global treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. One of the things that make our dental mobile clinics unique is that we are able to perform multiple procedures including fillings, restorations, cleanings and extractions at the mobile clinic. Fundraising for supplies and 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, Feb 21 – Mar 6, 2022.
