Sac State Medical Outreach trip to Peru, August 2017



Yvette's Message

Hi everyone , my Name is Yvette Neri.

I am trying to raise money to participate in a volunteer program through Sac State (Volunteers Around the World - Medical Outreach in Peru) and become the best nurse I can be while serving the community and the less fortunate.

I currently work in the medical field at a local hospital in sacramento. I am also continuing my education and persuing my Degree in Nursing. While working in the hospital I have had the opportunity to meet a lot of great people, however, I realized how much financial and supportive help the community from foreign countries need.

The money that I raise will not only help pay for the required volunteer trip contribution, but it will also assist the community with medical supplies and medication for the services we will be providing.

This opportunity means a lot to me, not only for the medical experience I will be obtaining for my major in the Univeristy, but also for the help these less fortunate people will receive. I identified that people don't obtain the medical services they need soley on the basis of financial harship, as to them is a matter of survival. I am beyond greatful to have this opportunity to attend this volunteer program and render my services to the community in need.

Thank you everyone in advance for your help and support.

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Sac State 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 Sac State 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 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. 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 April 4.
