Somos Amigos Medical Missions
Somos Amigos Medical Missions is a service trip that travels to the El Naranjito, Dominican Republic several times a year to provide medical and dental care for the local communities. The program was established in 1997 by a group of volunteers, dentists and physicians looking to bring care for under-served areas in developing countries. The program welcomes physicians, dentists, hygienists, medical and dental students, nurses and translators of all backgrounds and ages. The group brings together volunteers from around the United States and the world.〔(Somos Amigos )〕
==Establishment and philosophy==
The Somos Amigos Medical Mission formed as a result of Georgetown Preparatory School's Somos Amigos service trips. This program, formed about 20 years ago, took juniors at Georgetown Prep to various parts of the Dominican Republic every summer for about five weeks to work directly with a community. These trips often built water supplies, schools, churches and anything else the community needed. Around 1997, one of the founders of this trip, Frank Brightwell, consulted his doctor, Dr Mike Keegan, and a dentist and Prep Alum, Dr John Conaghan, to bring a few people down to provide medical and dental care. This first trip included six volunteers, one doctor and one dentist. They could only serve basic needs for the community, but laid the foundation and experience to help the trip grow.
One of the most important aspects of this trip is the relationship with the community of Naranjito. From the outset, Somos Amigos has worked directly with the community on every decision concerning the program. This is essential to the program's philosophy, that the program is not just giving medical care to the campesinos, but establishing a relationship with the people they serve. Somos Amigos realizes that nothing would be possible without the support and help from the community of Naranjito, as well as the donors and the volunteers who come on each trip.
