Long Island Dental Outreach trip to Peru 2016, Dental Supply & Medication Fund

End Date: Aug 16, 2016 12:00 AM

VAW at Long Island 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 2015, VAW treated over 30,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 50,000 in 2016. 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 portion of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
