Volunteer Activity Message

NO LONGER ACCEPTING STUDENTS. APPLICATION DEADLINE CLOSED 11/1/2012.

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures.

Not only will this be a great experience for you, but you will change the lives of those you help over there. Understand that each person is already lined up for you by God and your gift of health will last a lifetime as well as be impressed in their hearts forever. God bless you on your mission as well as your words and hands!
