Cardiff Dental Brigade April 2014



Raveena's Message

Hey everyone, I have decided to travel to Ghana over Easter in 2014 with 25 other fourth year dental students to provide dental care to the locals there who live in more deprived areas.
Our aims there are to provide urgent and preventive dental services to the rural communtities as well as educate and promote good oral health. In order to carry this out we will require a large amount of supplies such as instruments, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc and we can only get them with our help! I need to raise £1,500 and this can only be possible through the help of generous people like you! Any donation will be highly appreciated and it will definitely help to bring a positive change to the community in Ghana.
Thank you so much for your help and support!

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
