New Jersey Medical Outreach trip to Peru, August 2018



Nicole's Message

Hello and thank you for visiting my Empowered page!

My name is Nicole and I will be joining Volunteers Around the World (VAW) on their medical brigade to Peru in August 2018. This will be my second medical brigade and I'm so excited, not only to be assisting with the medical treatment and education of those who need it, but to also have the opportunity to experience a different culture and landscape.

If you could please help me reach my fundraising goal, I would very much appreciate it! Any donations for my trip would be great!! Thank you in advance!!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the NJ 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 NJ 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 2017, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2018. 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 May 7-11
