Elena's Message

Summer 2012- It's time for Africa!
This June I will be going to Ghana on a medical brigade with the world’s largest student-led global health and sustainable development organization.We need to raise some money that will be used for all the medical supplies, drugs and healthcare equipment that we will take with us to be used while we are there. If you can donate I would be really grateful, every little counts!
This is a video on how donations are used http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKg7i87sz7s

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures. At the end of the medical portion, volunteers then have a chance to build public health projects to address some of the environmental health issues. Public Health construction includes latrines, eco-stoves, and water filtration devices.
