VAW Virginia Medical Outreach trip to Peru, June 2021



Mia's Message

Greetings!

This summer of 2021, I am honored to participate in a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I am volunteering with Volunteers Across the World to travel to Cusco, Peru for 2 weeks in order to help rural communities and learn more about medicine! Through my site, I am trying to raise money and awareness for the trip. Any donations are greatly appreciated and will go toward medical supplies, group transportation, and other necessary funding for this amazing trip. Thank you to everyone who is willing to donate towards this amazing experience and wonderful opportunity to help families in Cusco that need medical support!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the VAW Virginia chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming Summer! interns 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 Virginia will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of interning with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2019, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2020. 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
