CBU Medical Brigade Ghana August 2013



April's Message

My career choice of nursing and my desire to travel have recently partnered in a once in a life time opportunity, in which I’m asking for your help! My passion for helping others and my endless support from family and friends (like you!) has brought me to near completion of my 2/4 years of Nursing at Cape Breton University. I am fortunate to have the opportunity to take my skills and knowledge with me to Ghana, Africa, with a group of CBU students as a part of Global Brigades. We will be embarking on a 10-day trip to under-resourced communities with various donated medication/supplies to provide care. This trip will allow me to not only allow me to provide hands-on help to those in need, but further strengthen my love for nursing. As this trip will cost me nearly $3000, and I have just a few months to fund it, I ask you from the bottom of my heart to donate anything you can to help me reach my dreams of helping others.




Volunteer Activity Description

Global Medical and Dental Brigades in Ghana work alongside each other on a 10-day long brigade in under-resourced communities around the central region of Ghana. Each medical and dental brigade incorporates a public health portion at the end of the 4 clinical days. The 10-day medical and public health brigade provides volunteers with the opportunity to make a tangible impact on communities while gaining hands-on experience in the field of international medicine. Prior to travel, volunteers collect medicines, recruit health professionals and fundraise. Once in Ghana, the team will visit one partner community to administer a 3-4 day-long clinic and conduct health workshops. During clinical days, community members are able to consult doctors and dentists, fill any necessary prescriptions, receive necessary dental care, and sit-in on health education lectures
