My name is Nattie, and I will be attending a Global Medical Brigade to Honduras this summer along with 30 other students, and 5 health care professionals. We will be spending time traveling to underserved areas in Honduras, setting up temporary clinics where people can come and receive medical treatment free of charge. During our brigade we will treat more than 1,500 impoverished villagers. Through in-take, triage, medical consultations, and filling prescriptions, we will experience many realms of medicine. For hours each day we will be administering medicines to local community members who are suffering from water-borne infectious diseases and dysentery caused by poor sanitation. Honduras is cited by the World Bank as the 3rd poorest country in the Western Hemisphere after Haiti and Nicaragua. The vast majority of people in Honduras live in rural communities without access to proper drinking water, sanitation, electricity, or access to proper roadways leading to civilization.

Please join me in supporting the critical medical care and work that I will be doing for the people and families in Honduras. Any support you can give will make a tremendous difference, be the donation large or small.
