UIUC Medical/Dental Brigade May 2012 Honduras



Nicole's Message

Thank you for visiting my page! I really appreciate any contributions because every little bit really does help! Last year's trip opened my eyes to the poverty that some people live in all of their lives. If you didn't know, Honduras is a third world country. I was blessed with the opportunity to take the trip last year and not only help out medically, but teach a little bit as well. These children had never heard of America before. They really believed that we were saints sent down to help them. I was able to teach them a little bit of English (Hello, How are you, and Good). The picture above is of the children that were so excited to learn the simple words. Please help me help them!

Thank You for taking the time to check out UIUC Global Medical Brigades' Page!

Sincerely,

Nicole :)

Volunteer Activity Description

Volunteers on the Medical and Dental Brigades will be working closely together to provide quality health initiatives to a community that otherwise has limited access to health care. Volunteers will spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient will receive a physician consultation, teeth cleaning and a fluoride treatment as well as have access to pap smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Volunteers will have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist. Volunteers will become familiar with the prevalent health issues in their community and learn about how to prevent and treat those illnesses. These brigades provide each volunteer with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on a specific community while gaining real life experience in the field of international medicine and dentistry.
