When: December 15th-23rd
Where: Panama
What: International Service Learning (ISL) is a volunteering organization that enlists medical and educational volunteer teams for the provision of services to under-served populations in Central and  South America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Africa.  According to the schedule on their site (http://www.islonline.org/), a 9-day program is planned that will be volunteering with pedriatic dentistry, pre-dental, and dental needs in Panama.
    The cost per person is $1670 (not including flight to/from).  According to the website, an application is submitted along with $285 (an $85 non-refundable application fee and $200 non-refundable fee towards the trip). Finanical aid is avaliable and if half the trip is paid for before Aug. 31st, a 10% discount is offered to volunteers.
    If enough people are interested, Robert and I will go speak to Club Alliance about fundraising opportunities at the school to help with the cost of the trip.
