Kenia's Message

Hello, my name is Kenia Santos. I currently started college this Fall as a nursing major. As a future Nurse I plan to travel around the world providing hispanics with the medical care they deserve. Being that I was also born in the Dominican Republic this is something very impacting to me. With everything going on in the Caribbean and in near countries, I hope to relieve the worry of some people and help care for them showing them the love they deserve. Attending this trip would be a great opportunity for me and I would really appreciate your support. Thank you so much for helping make one of my dreams become a reality.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the SBU chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to DR this upcoming Winter! 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 SBU will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in DR.

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 Nov. 2-9
