Welcome, and thank you for exploring the possibility of volunteering to join us on one of the most interesting and beneficial professional trips you will ever do. The Australian medical outreach expedition to the Amazon Jungle will be a united team of dentist, doctors, nurses and allied volunteers who will make an extra-ordinary contribution to people living in a precious wilderness - and to themselves along the way.
You can find more information in the links below.
There are detailed documets about the expedition, and a Q&A resource based mainly on questions from those of you in the dental profession, but which will assist eerybody interested. These have been answered jointly by Dr Bob Fulton, the Dental Director for Amazon Promise (AP), Jackie Carroll, volunteer co-ordinator at AP, and Jade Richardson, director of Girls on Top and team co-ordinator for this trip – all of whom have been in the field and travelled to the area we will visit many times.
In short, it's a trip for those of you who are seeking an adventure, and wishing to make a difference. It is not a trip for high-maintenance travellers, and there will be bugs!
There have been lots of questions already and we all asked the same things the first time we embarked into this unknown adventure. We have provided specifics where specifics are possible, and done our best to provide a general feel and insight to questions with answers that will unfold differently for each team member.
