University of San Antonio Dental Outreach trip to Guatemala, May 2019



Veronica's Message

Hey y'all! I will be traveling to Guatemala, May 27th through June 7th, with the University of Texas at San Antonio on a Dental Outreach trip. During my time abroad I will have the opportunity to be mentored by dental professionals, assist in various dental procedures, and teach an oral healthcare class to children. Volunteers Around the World at UT San Antonio will be operating in underserved communities who would otherwise not have access to much needed dental care. Any donation would help, thanks!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join University of San Antonio on their Dental Outreach trip to Guatemala this May! 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 Guatemala and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at the University of San Antonio will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala.

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 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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 April 1-5, 2019.
