Nova Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, March 2018
  1. Affiliated Organization: VAW Global Health Alliances
  2. Chapter: VAW at Nova Southeastern University, Dental Outreach
End Date: Mar 11, 2018 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Join Nova on their Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this March! 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 Nova 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 26 December 2017-2 January 2018

It is with pleasure that I can donate to this outreach program on your behalf. That little girl whose birthdays I attended for so many years has now become a passionate and motivated student in a great dental program. You have made so many people proud, not just your parents and I have so much fondness for your success. Continue with your hard word work and enthusiasm. My blessings from Oakville. Uncle Vince."
