Passionate About:

I am passionate about optimizing the human potential. This involves many facets of developing unrealized capabilities or capacity and going beyond self-imposed limitations, but ultimately it is about being the best human that you can be - for the common good. Greater meaning or purpose is gained through increased concern for the wider world beyond just "me".

GSU & AKVAW Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, May 2017



Kaden's Message

There are opportunities all around us to do good, to be better, and to make a difference. It's not about being the best, it's about being better than we were yesterday.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join Georgia State and Alaska on their Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this summer! 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 GSU & Alaska 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 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. 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 February 3-10
