Virginia Tech Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, December 2018



Elaina's Message

Hi friends and family! I have been given a great opportunity to participate in an outreach program with Virginia Tech during winter break of 2018. The program that I will be participating in will be taking place in the Dominican Republic. I will be getting to work in a dental clinic and have the chance to practice dentistry along the side of the dentist that run the program to give full dental care to the less fortunate. I am trying to raise enough money to go on the outreach program and if you would like to donate towards my trip, any little bit would help and be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join Virginia Tech on their Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this winter 2018-2019! Volunteers will have the opportunity to learn about various dental procedures, such as cleanings, restorations, fillings, and extractions, learn about the current healthcare system in the Dominican Republic and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Virginia Tech will be opening up mobile dental 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 full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. 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 September 11-18, 2018
