California State University Fullerton Medical Outreach trip to Cambodia, May 2020



Gisselle's Message

I have collaborated with the California State University of Fullerton: Volunteers Around the World Program to work with a humanitarian organization and social enterprise committed to improving the standard of living in our global community. This organization offers comprehensive medical care for men, women, and children in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Sadly, the lack of medications, water, sanitation, transportation, and education disproportionately affects the health in its rural communities. I want to help increase access to medical care and improve hygiene by providing medical care and education in underserved communities. While in Cambodia, my team and I will work for 6 days with a medical team to provide preventive health screenings, vaccinations, and treatments to the people in Siem Reap.

During my 2 week stay, I anticipate transportation, lodging and food expenses to be $1,995.00. Would you consider partnering with me in this medical mission? The generosity and support I receive from family and friends are all that will enable me to embark on this journey.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the California State University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Cambodia this upcoming Summer 2020! 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 California State University will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Cambodia.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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 24 to 28.
