University of Nebraska Kearny Medical Outreach trip to Panama, May 2019



Kerstin's Message

Hello friends and family! I am fundraising money to help me go on a trip to Panama this coming summer with an organization through UNK called Volunteers Around the World. This group is a humanitarian organization and social enterprise devoted to improving the standard of living for those that live in some of the most poverty stricken communities of the world. Our focus is to provide communities with access to medical and dental treatment, medication, nutritional security, clean water and health education. On this 2 week trip we will be spending time working clinics and educating local youth about medicine, germs/bacteria, and work in the medical field. I would appreciate all the help I can get to achieve my goal! Thank you for your support!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Nebraska Kearny chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Panama this upcoming summer! 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 University of Nebraska Kearny will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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.
