Passionate About:

Many times we ask ourselves who can make this world a better place or why is this world the way it is? It is filled with too much suffering.

Instead of waiting for someone to fight for the problems we face in society we must rise up and take that responsibility. We are the ones we have been waiting for. We are the future. We are change. I know that at times hope seems lost but if we keep working hard maybe someday we can see those positive changes.So i ask you lets be a part of that change. Let's rise together because together we can make a difference.

I leave you with a quote:
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers will set up temporary clinics in pre-identified communities in Eastern Panama to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months. Students on the brigade are given the opportunity to shadow licensed health care professionals while learning about local Panamanian culture. A typical Medical/Dental Brigade clinic consists of six stations: Intake, Triage, Consultation, Dental, Charla (health education), and Pharmacy. Electronic patient records are collected during the brigade to ensure patient follow-up as well as to monitor overall community health trends. Between brigades, the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conduct community health worker training aimed at empowering local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of health care. For every student who volunteers on a Global Medical Brigade, sixty patients can see a doctor who otherwise would not be able to.
