VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT: ERIN HINES ✨

Here’s what Erin has to say about her very first Brigade experience!

• CAN YOU SHARE A SPECIFIC EXPERIENCE FROM YOUR BRIGADE IN GUATEMALA?
“The only Spanish I learned was taught to me in school so I wasn’t completely confident in my ability to understand certain regional vocabulary or slang. However, one time during lunch, I noticed a woman sitting alone and looking at the work stations. I approached her and asked her if she needed anything, and she explained to me that she missed the initial screening day for most of the patients we were seeing but one of her teeth was really bothering her. We chatted for a bit and had to use some hand motions or pointing to communicate but I escorted her to the treatment area and arranged for her to be treated as soon as possible. I was very proud of myself and I am excited to practice more Spanish.“

• DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS/ADVICE FOR SOMEONE LOOKING TO JOIN A SERVICE TRIP WITH ?
“Definitely get ahead on fundraising. The fundraising events are a good way to help you get to know other volunteers and become more comfortable with each other.”

• HOW WOULD YOU COMPARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT THE BRIGADE BEFORE AND AFTER ATTENDING?
“Going into the brigade, I wasn’t completely prepared because I had never done something like it before and I didn’t know a lot about the organization or what the trip consisted of. However, Arianna was great at communicating everything and the different aspects of dental work were interesting to learn about. Additionally the cultural day was a great way to end the trip and learn about their culture.“

• WAS THE BRIGADE WHAT YOU EXPECTED?
“I expected it to be a highly stressful environment because I wanted to help but I didn’t know much about dental care and a lot of other volunteers had more experience than me. However, the dentists were very patient and explained everything they were doing to both the students shadowing them and their patients.”

Follow along for more volunteer spotlights and our NEW BRIGADE DATES AND LOCATION! 💫
