Boston University Medical Brigade January 2015 Honduras



Elpida's Message

Hello visitors!
Thanks for making it so far to my donation page! I am going on a Medical Brigade to Honduras this January 2015. Having lived in a bubble of safety for all of my life, the time has come to travel out of my comfort zone and dive into new experiences. I plan to fund most of this trip myself but early birthday/Christmas presents are welcome.

Un abrazo grande,
Elpida

Volunteer Activity Description

Medical Brigade volunteers have the opportunity to shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists through a one week Medical Brigade in Honduras, Panama, or Ghana. Student volunteers can either join an existing Medical Brigades chapter on their campus or create their own chapter and recruit other volunteers. Each of our partner community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are treated and volunteers deliver public health workshops. 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.
