Summary
Are you willing to work as a dental assistant in The Gambia, a country where there is almost no dental care, especially for children?
Detailed description
Healthy teeth are very important. Damage and pain to children's teeth hinder them from growing up. Children eat, play, sleep and learn poorly if they have complaints about their teeth. You will work in a dental care car of Stichting Westland4Gambia past schools in a circle of about 20 km around the city of Brikama. In the schoolyard, the teeth of the children are checked and in the classroom information is given about dental care with an instruction banner. In addition, you work one day a week in a permanent dental practice in Jamwelly.
We ask;
* You are at least 18 years old on the departure date.
* You are physically and mentally healthy.
* You are patient, flexible, reliable and interested in other cultures.
* You have experience regarding the vacancy or you follow a training for this.
* There is an application procedure.
* You pay the costs that voluntary work in The Gambia entails, such as preparation and supervision costs, airline tickets, accommodation costs and meals.
We offer;
* Interesting projects from which you will learn a lot.
* Good preparation in the Netherlands and guidance in Senegal.
* Pick-up from the airport.
* Introduction day in Senegal.
* A guest address which serves as a home base where the volunteer can go with questions and relax himself.
* Various possibilities for excursions.
This volunteer vacancy cannot (yet) be filled as long as the corona measures apply in the Netherlands and / or the Gambia. If interested, it is possible to make an appointment without obligation.
