Passionate About:

I am a biology major interested in both the animal and human aspects of the medical field, so naturally I am fascinated by the opportunity to travel to Honduras to help underprivileged people in a medical setting. I would love to be given the chance to practice something I hope to do for the rest of my life, while simultaneously improving the quality of life of a deserving, yet disadvantaged, community which lacks even the most basic healthcare. The level of experience this trip would provide is incomparable to any offered in the United States, while allowing me to put my Hispanic studies minor to good use.

May 2011 IWU Medical Brigade



Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.
