Lindsey Nguyen

La Jolla, CA

Passionate About:

I am an avid volunteer in my own community and believe that we should first start by creating a place to call 'home' for those closest around us. I do utilize every opportunity I have to volunteer in public health here at home, however, I will always strive to be a more cultured and well-rounded student and individual. I wish to volunteer in a different country because I know that I am confined to a very small bubble just in my community. There are communities in foreign countries that deserve the care and attention of young volunteers as well. I see my peers and fellow volunteers and truly believe that there is so much potential in the future if we were given the chance to contribute.

Volunteer Activity Message

UCSD volunteers spend 7 days in Honduras, improving basic home infrastructure and providing health education to help reduce the incidences of life-threatening, but preventable, diseases in a rural community. With an understanding of the holistic model that focuses on education, community health sustainability and infrastructural development, volunteers first receive a comprehensive introduction to the country\'s public health challenges and the Public Health program\'s ground-up solution. They will take a tour of the community Public Health is currently working in, introduce themselves to the beneficiary families, and meet with the Basic Sanitation Committee (CSB). Then, working side-by-side with community members and local masons, volunteers construct four infrastructure projects meant to improve the health of the home and surrounding environment: eco-stoves, latrines, pilas (water storage units), and concrete floors. Additionally, as a key component of the program, UCSD volunteers collaborate with the Basic Sanitation Committee and local teachers to help provide community-wide education workshops and training, proliferating sanitation and hygiene practices and empowering families with both the knowledge and tools to live healthier lives.
