VAW at UC Berkeley, Dental Outreach

About
The UC Berkeley chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW) consists of students that are enthusiastic and committed about addressing the health disparities that currently exists in developing countries. Through close collaboration with the Non-Governmental Organization, Volunteers Around the World, our club at Berkeley strives towards providing rural communities in developing countries access towards dental treatment and oral hygiene, nutritional and health education.

If you're interested in global medicine and want to be part of one of Berkeley's most involved clubs on campus, then become a member and check out our website for more information or come to one of our info sessions!

UC Berkeley Dental Outreach trip to Dominican Republic 2016, Dental Supply & Medication Fund

Fundraising Campaign Description

: VAW at UC Berkeley will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Dominican Republic.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2015, VAW treated over 30,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 50,000 in 2016. 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 portion of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.
