Cate's Message

Hello Friends and Family!

Thanks for taking the time to look at my page and for even considering to donate to my cause! I am forever grateful for all the support you guys have given and continue to keep giving to me and all my endeavours. Any donation to help me on my journey to Nicaragua, no matter how small, helps tremendously! Thanks again for the consideration.

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 9 day Medical/Public Health hybrid Brigades throughout the year in Honduras and Nicaragua.

During the Medical component, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.

During the Public Health component, volunteers develop sustainable health solutions and establish a standard of health quality by emphasizing prevention and education. The Public Health Program achieves this goal by implementing in-home infrastructure projects, providing health education, and engaging community members. Each Public Health Brigade will work with individual families, local schools, and community leaders with a focus on holistic and preventative health measures on both an individual and community-wide scale.
