University of Alabama Medical Outreach trip to Peru, May 2019



Caroline's Message

This will be The University of Alabama's second trip with VAW, and I am so excited! Last year, about 14 other students and I traveled to Guatemala to volunteer in medical clinics and we helped give medicine and care to over 1,000 people! This year, we have 44 students travelling to Peru, just imagine the amount of lives we can impact! We just need your donations to help us get there!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the University of Alabama chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming summer! 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 the University of Alabama 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 January 22-29, 2019
