Butler University Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, July 2019



Autumn's Message

My name is Autumn Lawhorn and I am a junior at Butler University! I am so passionate about the work that Volunteers Around the World does. This organization provides me with hands-on experience in the medical field and gives me the opportunity to help those in need. Last summer I traveled to Vietnam for 2 weeks and set up free medical clinics, helping 701 children total. This year I am going to the Dominican Republic where my team and I will set up clinics for all ages! I would appreciate any donation you make, as it gets me one step closer to my goal and being able to go!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Butler 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 Butler 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 18-22, 2019
