Derek gives freely of his time and skills and invites other professionals to join him for working holidays in this incredibly rewarding work.  Derek is also very enthusiastic about introducing other people to the third world and getting them involved in TroppoDoc projects . These include building, improving water supplies, education, assisting with clinics and anything else volunteers can turn their hand to. Derek finds his work challenging, interesting, and hugely satisfying and wonders why more people aren’t doing it !!

 

To see what TroppoDoc is doing check the website regularly and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. TroppoDoc are always looking for people to travel and help with their work. From any walk of life, with any skills, medical or non-medical volunteers are essential to TroppoDoc and its commitment to help the less fortunate.

 

As a volunteer you will be warmly welcomed for any length of time. Usually the time spent is  too short – Derek still finds that there is not enough time, and he has been doing this type of work for over twenty years! Volunteer for a day, a week, a month, a year or more, you will probably find that you will wish to stay even longer.

 

Logically with the cost of airtravel the most practical stay is for a month or longer but you are welcome for shorter periods. If you are interested in helping in any way, please go to the “Volunteer Database” page and register or to support  financially click here. This is non-binding, and simply puts you in contact with other volunteers. The cost to volunteers is their own airfares and meals and accommodation.

 

The rewards are immeasurable

There is no fee charged to volunteers by TroppoDoc

 

If you simply want to enquire further make contact with Bron or Jan (details on our contacts page) so they can answer questions or get you started on a journey you will wish to go on again and again Maybe you cant travel But still want to help... Dr Derek is always in desperate need for sponsorship of urgent projects.

Derek really enjoys communicating and responding to people directly, but email access varies depending on where he is. Text often works better than email! For urgent enquiries, please visit our Contacts page.
