Passionate About:

I’m pleased to inform you that this winter break, I will be volunteering as a medical outreach intern in Bocas del Toro, Panama, with USC’s chapter of Volunteers Around the World (VAW). VAW is a humanitarian organization devoted to improving the standard of living for those that live in some of the world’s most poverty-stricken communities. Through our mission in Panama this December, we will be providing hundreds of locals with access to medical treatment, medication, and nutritional security.

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the University of Southern California chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming winter! 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 USC will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

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.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of November 1-8, 2018
