About
The Georgia State University 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 GSU 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 dentistry and want to be part of one of GSU'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!

Georgia State University Dental Outreach trip to Vietnam, August 2021

Volunteer Activity Description

Join Georgia State University on their Dental Outreach trip to Vietnam this Summer! 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 Vietnam and teach a public health class and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Georgia State University will be opening up mobile dental clinics for local communities during their time in Vietnam.

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 2019, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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.
