Hampton University Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, May 2019



Leslie's Message

Hello! Thank you for the interest. My name is Leslie Brooks and I am a 3rd year nursing student at the illustrious Hampton University. I have been blessed with the amazing opportunity to study abroad in the Dominican Republic in summer 2019. Nursing has become my life and passion and I would love to spend two weeks of my summer giving back internationally in DR. Volunteers around the world is hosting this amazing opportunity, and I am so appreciative for this experience. I will spend two weeks serving at a clinic, free to the public of DR with medical and pharmaceutical services. With this incredible opportunity I need help in covering the cost of $2945 for this once in a life time trip. Any amount of monetary donation would be greatly appreciated on my behalf! Thank you so much! #yourfutureRN

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Hampton University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this upcoming summer! 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 Hampton will be opening up mobile medical 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 medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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 25-March 1, 2019
