I'm Matteo and on january I'll go in kenya for a volountary project ( hospital-dental care) I'm looking for someone that just has gone in kenia to have this experience to excange some information.. Ciao Matteo
Hello my name is Diana iam from Portugal and ive finishied my graduation this year. Iam a dentist and i would like to go on the dental project volunteering. I just apply now, but i would like to have more information, what can i do?
Well, once you have applied for a voluntary project, the next thing is to plan your travel. This may include looking for a flight to the destination country. You should send the flight details to organisation you are applying through with since they shall organise your airport pick up, place you to your chosen project and to host family. This what my dental friends and I from Chicago USA did a while ago on a dental volunteering service in Kenya, and it worked well for us. You should write to the THIVS people and ask them more specific information you may wish to know before departure. You can also ask them if other volunteers are going to same project with you that time and maybe ask for their contacts. There is always anxious moment if you have not travelled for a long distant before, but all this is part of preparations. I hope this help?
You can drop me a line at; melaniebryant1@yahoo.com Best regards.
