Passionate About:

I am passionate about helping others less fortunate than I. I traveled to the Dominican Republic last year with Volunteers Around the World and it changed my life. I am more than thrilled to travel to Peru this winter as the team leader and change more lives.

OSU Dental Outreach trip to Peru, December 2016 - January 2017
  1. Affiliated Organization: VAW Global Health Alliances
  2. Chapter: VAW at Ohio State University, Dental Outreach
End Date: Jan 07, 2017 12:00 AM
Volunteer Activity Message

Join OSU Dental on their Dental Outreach trip to Peru this Winter! 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 OSU Dental 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 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 November 1st - November 8th.
