Volunteer Review: Morveen – Dental Student from University of Dundee, Scotland A Broader View Volunteers (ABV) | Kathmandu, Nepal Dental Program Morveen, a dental student at the University of Dundee in Scotland, shares why she is an excellent fit for the ABV Nepal Kathmandu dental volunteer program: “I would make a good volunteer for ABV because I am passionate about learning about dental care, health resources and clinical workings within Nepal. As well as gaining a better understanding of Nepalese healthcare and using my skills to volunteer within a local dental clinic, I am also interested in experiencing the local culture and immersing myself within the community. I am good at prioritising, making sure situations are dealt with in the appropriate manner and correct order whilst remaining calm and level headed to make appropriate decisions.” This placement places dental students and pre-dental volunteers in a large dental hospital in Kathmandu that serves poor, marginalized, and underserved communities. Volunteers work under local registered dentists, assist with common procedures (scaling, fillings, extractions, and more), and take part in community outreach at schools, orphanages, and monasteries focused on oral health education. Program details & application: abroaderview.org/programs/me… Dental students looking for supervised clinical exposure, cultural immersion, and real-world insight into Nepalese healthcare systems will find this a high-value elective and service opportunity with A Broader View Volunteers. #DentalVolunteerNepal #KathmanduDentalProgram #ABVVolunteers #DundeeDentalStudent #VolunteerAbroadReview

Benjamin from the University of Dundee Dental School completes his Pre-Dental / Dentistry Elective in Kathmandu, Nepal with A Broader View Volunteers (ABV)! As a final-year Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS 2022-2027) student at University of Dundee Dental School, Benjamin needed a dentistry-related elective that combined clinical experience with meaningful outreach. He chose the ABV Kathmandu Dental Program at a large dental hospital serving poor, marginalized, and destitute communities in Nepal — where oral hygiene standards are low and treatment is often unaffordable. With one year of experience as a dental nurse in Singapore, strong manual dexterity honed through arts & crafts, DIY projects, cooking & baking, plus prior volunteering at a Dundee soup kitchen and a church medical mission to Cambodia, Benjamin was perfectly prepared. Passionate about dentistry since age 14, he assisted local registered dentists with scaling, fillings, root canals (RCT), extractions, and more — while leading community outreach visits to schools, orphanages, and monasteries for oral health education, brushing demos, and check-ups. Living with a host family, he gained deep cultural immersion in Kathmandu while fulfilling his university curriculum requirements in a real-world, resource-limited setting. This supervised placement delivered hands-on learning, global perspective on oral health disparities, and direct community impact. Programs like ABV’s Nepal Dental Hospital placement (year-round, 1+ weeks, 30-40 hours/week) give dental students and pre-dental volunteers exactly this kind of high-value elective experience.

🚑 Welcome Matthew B. to La Ceiba, Honduras – EMT Rescue Ambulance Program Arrival 🚑 We are excited to announce the arrival of Matthew B. in La Ceiba, Honduras, where he has joined A Broader View Volunteers for the EMT Rescue Ambulance / Paramedic Rescue program. Matthew, a certified Emergency Medical Technician (Unitek EMT, Tempe, AZ – 2025) and Associate of Biochemistry graduate (Glendale Community College, AZ – 2025), chose this hands-on volunteer experience because he believes EMS delivers one of the highest-impact branches of medicine. Paramedics meet patients on the worst days of their lives, carrying both the responsibility and the opportunity to deliver immediate, lifesaving care. He specifically selected the volunteer EMS model in Honduras to understand its unique strengths and challenges compared with paid systems, while facilitating a genuine two-way exchange of knowledge, protocols, and methods between cultures. This experience directly supports his preparation for medical school and his long-term goal of becoming a trauma surgeon. Matthew brings the exact qualities that make an outstanding volunteer: he asks insightful questions to understand the reasoning behind every procedure, offers constructive feedback, learns quickly, and thrives in high-stress, resource-limited environments. By the end of his program he expects to be performing at the highest intervention level allowed by his training and local supervisors. This is real-world EMS work — ambulance operations, patient transfers, and rescue support alongside local teams in La Ceiba — and exactly the kind of immersive preparation future trauma surgeons need. Follow Matthew’s journey and see how you can contribute to life-changing medical volunteering in Honduras. 👉 Learn more and apply: abroaderview.org What draws you most to emergency medical volunteering abroad — the clinical experience, the cultural exchange, or the chance to serve in high-impact settings?

University of Dundee Dental Students Arrive in Kathmandu for ABV Dental Outreach Program Four 4th-year dental students from the University of Dundee, Scotland — Benjamin, Sharleen, Daniel, and Morveen — have arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal, to join the Dental Outreach Program with A Broader View Volunteers (ABV). They are working at a local health center that provides care for seniors and individuals requiring physical rehabilitation, delivering essential dental health services to populations with limited access to specialized oral care. These students bring strong clinical foundations. They treat patients under supervision in their program and have developed excellent manual dexterity through years of hands-on work in arts, crafts, DIY projects, cooking, and baking. Their motivation is clear and practical: they want to broaden clinical skills in a different healthcare system, deliver both treatment and preventive education where it is most needed, understand Nepalese dental resources and workflows firsthand, and contribute directly inside a local clinic while experiencing the community. Volunteer perspective (summarized from application statement): A final-year dental student with supervised patient treatment experience, passionate about dentistry since age 14, with refined hands-on skills from arts, crafts, DIY, cooking, and baking. They chose the Nepal program to expand both clinical competence and personal development while serving communities with restricted healthcare access. The goal is to improve oral health through treatment and prevention in underserved groups, learn about dental care and health systems in Nepal, apply skills in a local clinic, and immerse in the culture and community. This placement gives the volunteers direct exposure to the realities of delivering dental care in a resource-limited setting focused on seniors and rehabilitation patients — work that builds adaptability, cross-cultural competence, and a sharper understanding of global oral health needs. At the same time, the health center gains additional capacity to address dental issues that affect comfort, nutrition, communication, and overall quality of life for its patients. Invitation to other students and professionals Programs like this offer dental students and qualified professionals a concrete way to gain international clinical experience, practice preventive care and treatment in underserved settings, and develop skills that transfer directly to any future practice. If you are a dental student or professional looking for structured, meaningful volunteer work abroad, ABV facilitates placements that combine service with real professional growth.

🌟 Unforgettable Mother-Daughter Volunteer Journey in Cusco, Peru! 🇵🇪❤️ What an incredibly rewarding experience! Two families—two mothers who are pediatricians, Dr. Anusha and Dr. Monica, along with their daughters—just completed a deeply meaningful volunteer trip to Cusco, Peru. While the daughters dedicated their time and hearts to volunteering at a local girls' orphanage, Dr. Anusha and Dr. Monica stepped up to provide vital healthcare to infants, children from various orphanages, and local schools throughout Cusco and the surrounding communities. Recognizing the unique health needs of the region, they also donated sunglasses to local women to help protect against eye illnesses caused by the intense high-elevation sun. 🕶️☀️ It wasn’t all work, though! Over the weekend, the families got to experience the breathtaking magic of Peru, taking incredible tours to Machu Picchu and other historic sites. 🏔️✨ A massive thank you to our wonderful host family for making us feel so incredibly welcome, and an extra special shout-out to our local coordinator, Maria Elena, whose dedication and support made the entire experience smooth, safe, and truly enjoyable from start to finish. Thank you, Cusco, for the beautiful memories and the opportunity to give back! 🫶👶👧 Www.abroaderview.org ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #Volunteering #Peru #Cusco #MotherDaughterTrip #PediatriciansGiveBack #TravelWithPurpose #MachuPicchu
