Passionate About:

Community knows no borders, love needs no translation.

Here and at home, coming together for the health of our community is so vital. We all can have a role; sometimes it takes making space, usually it takes practice, and always it takes learning. We have as much to learn from and with our communities & neighbours in Canada, and I hope we can learn with them how to show up grounded in community, commit ourselves in partnership, collaborate in a participatory process, ask how we can help, listen and reflect intentionally, and walk forward together.

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
