Passionate About:

I am passionate about creating a world where health is a right, not a privilege, where everyone has access to quality healthcare. In June 2013 I will be traveling to Honduras with BC's chapter of Global Medical Brigades on a 9 day Medical/Public Health Brigade to provide comprehensive primary health services to rural communities, and construct infrastructure projects to improve the health of the homes and surrounding environment. Please donate and help make this year’s brigade a great success! Thank you for all of your help!☺

Volunteer Activity Message

Medical Brigade volunteers set up medical clinics in pre-identified communities to provide healthcare where access is limited. Each community receives a brigade every 3-4 months and between brigades the in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and conducts community health worker trainings to empower local leaders to perpetuate a consistent level of healthcare.

Public Health Brigade volunteers work side-by-side with community members to improve heath in their homes through the construction of eco-stoves, latrines, water storage units, and concrete floors. These projects and public health education taught to the communities help to decrease life threatening diseases.
