Passionate About:

The mission of Global Brigades is based on helping to build a community that can grow and begin to provide for itself. Teaching a community about long-term goals of self-sufficiency will make a lasting difference in under-resourced parts of the world. As the saying goes, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime" (Maimonides).

I am currently looking to follow a career in medicine and healthcare. Learning how to combine my passion for service with my career is my dream, and what better way to start than with a trip focused on administering care to the sick? What really matters to me is helping others and experiencing different parts of the world, as well as the program's focus on helping build a healthy and sustainable community.

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.
