Volunteer work :

• Petrina is a Consultant for the provision of dental services to NGO and Rotary groups working in Chang Rai with northern Thai hill tribes, a consultant for dental service for treatment of child refugees and a consultant for provision of dental services to the Balibo clinic in Timor.
  
• Petrina was instrumental in established a volunteer dental clinic for street children in Cambodia in 2006. She is responsible for the establishment and management of permanent volunteer dental clinic in Sihanoukville, Cambodia with the charity M’Lop Tapang where she provided dental treatment and oral health promotion for the street children and their families in Sihanoukville
  http://www.icdsectionviii.org/mlop-tapang-cambodia.html
  The M’Lop Tapang program operates from a dental surgery located within a medical centre.  The program provides dental treatment for street children and their families, dental prevention and education to the families and communities of M’Lop Tapang and training of local Cambodian medical staff regarding oral health.  The program also mentors final year dental students and new graduates to promote volunteering amongst younger dentists. Dr Petrina Bowden sources dental volunteers and dental students and dental materials for the program as well as provides dental care during her regular visits to M’Lop Tapang. The program depends on volunteer dentists to provide services. Petrina has played a vital role in establishing the dental clinic at the community centre and is a wonderful advocate for this program and very proactive in working towards achieving her goal of obtaining enough volunteers to enable a dentist to visit M’Lop Tapang every 4-6 weeks. This will allow children and their mothers to receive not only emergency treatment, but preventative treatment as well.
  About M'Lop Tapang: M’Lop Tapang is a non Government organisation. (M’lop means protection and Tapang is a large umbrella tree that provides shelter from the elements.) Its main purpose is to provide protection. It was founded by Maggie Eno in 2003.
  Today with 179 other staff and over 200 volunteers, helping over 3500 children and their families at 10 specialised centres in the Sihanoukville area. Through a variety of interwoven programs it helps families and communities prioritise the education, health and mental stability of children. It offers the children formal and non-formal education, protection from abuse, counseling, food, medical care, schooling and family reintegration. It helps children to make positive choices for their future. The community centre contains offices, classrooms, playgrounds and a medical facility. Children not only have access to a library, computers, dance, sport and craft classes but they also have access to basic needs such as bathing and meals, all in a safe environment.
