Passionate About:

Simply put, I am passionate about helping others. I know everybody says this but I honestly enjoy it, especially helping the elderly and people who do not have access to necessities that are needed to survive. I have wanted to do a volunteering trip for a long time now and this one fits me perfectly. Being able to help others, volunteer in a medical setting, and overall making a difference are a couple driving factors for me wanting to take this trip.

Cal Poly Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic, December 2018



Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Cal Poly chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to the Dominican Republic this upcoming December! 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 Cal Poly 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 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. 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 September 17-21, 2018
