UGA Dental Outreach trip to Peru, May 2018



Lauren's Message

I transferred to UGA this semester with the goal of pursuing my dream to become a dentist. Through a club called Volunteers Around the World, I have been blessed with the opportunity to shadow and help dentists give dental care to people who can’t afford it in PERU. I can't go without your help though. In order to go I need to raise money for the program fee, dental supplies, and the travel fee. Having my community and loved ones help me on this journey would mean the world to me. No donation is too small, I appreciate it all! Thank you all so much in advance, this trip will be an amazing learning experience for me! Help me help others!!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join UGA on their Dental Outreach trip to Peru 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 Peru and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at UGA will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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 January 28-feb 3rd
