Bronx Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala, March 2017



Greta's Message

This Spring Break I am co-leading a medical outreach trip to San Pedro, Guatemala, with Volunteers Around the World (VAW), a NGO that works to increase the standard of living for people in poverty all over the globe.

My team and I will be assisting local doctors in the running of mobile clinics, going to some of the hardest to reach communities around San Pedro to provide essential healthcare to the people living there.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Bronx chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Guatemala this upcoming spring! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Bronx will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Guatemala.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of Dec. 5
