Vittoria De Maurizi

Richmond, Virginia, U.S.A.

Passionate About:

I am passionate about volunteering. I currently volunteer with an animal rescue group and as an assistant coach of two synchronized swimming teams. Eventually I would like to become more involved in other areas including wildlife rehabilitation, promoting literacy, women/minority/sexuality issues and rights, human trafficking and environmental protection.
I want to specifically go on this medical/public health brigade because my brother, Maurizio, was so enthusiastic about traveling to help the more vulnerable populations and especially going to Nicaragua because this trip would have been his first medical mission. I want to go in his place to learn more about him and the last part of his life that he loved and enjoyed so much and to heal my own grief by helping others.

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.
