NYU Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, June 2018



Josephine's Message

Hello friends and family! I am so honored to be given the opportunity to participate in the VAW NYU Dental Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this June 2018. If you know me, you know that I have always talked about traveling around the world, spreading goodness everywhere, and my goal of becoming a dentist. This trip would give me an amazing opportunity to learn and work alongside (real) dentists in a real world setting. If you would like to support this mission and my dream, feel free to donate any amount you wish. Thank you so much for even reading all of this, and I hope you have a great day! :)

Volunteer Activity Description

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

VAW at NYU will be opening up mobile dental 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 full dental clinics and primary care medical clinics to the less fortunate. In 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. 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 20-27, 2018
