Welcome to TroppoDoc
Volunteers make up the organization of TroppoDoc.
TroppoDoc is an organisation of volunteers established by Dr Derek Allen a New Zealand doctor who has chosen to work in the third world to help poor people in Indonesia, Burkina Faso - Africa, Bolivia, and Vanuata.
Dr Derek Allen gives freely of his time and skills and invites other professionals to join him for working holidays in this incredibly rewarding work. Dr Allen is also very enthusiastic about introducing people to the third world and getting them involved in TroppoDoc projects . These include building and improving water supplies in schools, health education, assisting with medical clinics and building children's playgrounds.
Dr Derek Allen finds his work challenging, interesting, and self-fulfilling, and would like more people to join him in his challenge to help those in need who have not had the opportunities we take for granted.
To see what TroppoDoc is doing check the website regularly and feel free to contact us with any questions you might have. TroppoDoc is always looking for people to help in this incredibly rewarding work from any walk of life, with skills, medical or non-medical volunteers are essential to TroppoDoc in its commitment to help those in need.
We need your help!
As a volunteer you will be warmly welcomed for any length of time. Volunteer for one month, or six weeks, you will probably find that you will wish to stay even longer.
Logically with the cost of airtravel the most practical stay is for one month or longer but you are welcome for shorter periods. If you are interested and available to volunteer within the next two years 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 the TroppoDoc Team. The cost to volunteers is their own airfares, 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 Bronwyn or Jan (details on our contacts page) so they can answer questions or get you started on a journey to help those in need. Maybe you cannot travel but still want to help... TroppoDoc is always in need of sponsorship for urgent projects.
Dr Derek Allen really enjoys communicating and responding to people directly, but email access can be limited. However he can usually be contacted by txt or phone - refer to Contacts page.

Individual costs for specific people & illness
"It is incredibly rewarding to sponsor a patient with TroppoDoc. Dr Derek keeps you informed by txt message - he discusses the patient's condition - he discusses options and costs available for their treatment. Our family feel included and part of the Team; and all the funds we donated were spent on Jutra and her family". This photo is so ‘special’. ?xml:namespace>
