OSU Dental Outreach trip to Peru, December 2016 - January 2017



Fallon's Message

Hi everyone! I am extremely excited to serve alongside my fellow Buckeyes as we help provide dental care and education to the communities in Cuzco, Peru this winter. As an Honors Spanish, pre-Dental major with a minor in Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, I hope to use my Spanish and cultural backgrounds to best serve the population we will be working with for this outreach. I cannot wait to get further experience using my Spanish in a clinical setting after I graduate in December and before I head to dental school next fall. I have worked with the local Latino population here in Columbus at La Clínica Latina on Ohio State's campus and absolutely loved helping these patients find the resources and care they needed in a culturally competent way. Please consider donating to fund our trip to Peru this winter, any donation goes a long way in providing dental care for those in need. I appreciate your kindness and thank you for helping us do what we love most!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join OSU Dental on their Dental Outreach trip to Peru this Winter! 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 Peru and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at OSU Dental will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. 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 November 1st - November 8th.
