Passionate About:

Please help me return to serve the community of Jarabacoa, Dominican Republic this summer from April 28th through May 7, 2017!

After attending this Dental Mission trip for the last two summers, I knew that I was destined to return to this small village. These people opened their hearts and homes to us and truly forged a once in a lifetime experience. They embodied the true meaning of gratitude and appreciation. Despite having so little, they had permanent smiles on their faces. I learned to cherish all of my blessings by observing the beautiful attitude demonstrated by the villagers.

Help me give back to the community that gave me so much by allowing me to combine my passion for dentistry and service. Any donation is greatly appreciated, and no amount is too small.

Thank you for your generosity!

UF Dental Outreach trip to the DR, April 2017



Volunteer Activity Description

Join UF on their Dental Outreach trip to the DR this Summer! 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 the DR and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!


VAW at UF will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in the DR.

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 February 13-17
