Cardiff Dental Brigade April 2014



Ashni's Message

Dear all,

This coming Easter, I will be going to Ghana with a team of dental students from Cardiff Dental School including dentists as part of the Dental Brigades (registered charity no.: 1132015).

During our time there we will:
- treat as many patients as possible – for checkups, extractions, scaling, fluoride treatment
- provide education on oral health
- offer sustainable solutions to oral health problems

I need your help to raise £1500 to cover costs of equipment, medicines, travel and materials.

Please support this worthy cause; there are only 148 dentists in the whole of Ghana, which equates to approximately 155,000 people per dentist. The majority of these dentists work in the two main cities of the country, leaving the rural areas with virtually no dental care.

I would really appreciate your support by making a donation, no matter how small; it will make a huge difference to the people of Ghana!

NB: - when donating, please make sure you click
“make a donation on behalf of a volunteer” and select my name! (Ashni Adatia)

Thank you in advance for your generosity,

Ashni

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.
