Volunteer Activity Message

Join the Anchorage Alaska (AKVAW) chapter as the lead a Medical Outreach trip to Cambodia this upcoming winter! 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! Join our trip through Empowered or contact us for more information!

VAW at AKVAW 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 2015, VAW treated over 30,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 50,000 in 2016. 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 portion 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 on October 31-November 4
