Hi!
I am planning on going to Nicaragua in March with the Global Medical Brigade. I would really appreciate if you could donate to help attend this trip. It does not have to be a large amount and every penny counts!! This trip will provide medical help to children and families in the poorest areas where medical aid is not readily available.

Volunteers spend three days in a community in order to optimize the amount of time patients are able to spend with the physicians and dentists. Each patient receives a physician consultation, public health talk, and prescribed medicines as well as have access to PAP smears, prostate exams and restorative dental care as necessary. Children, in addition, receive teeth cleaning, a fluoride treatment, and vitamins necessary for proper growth and development. Volunteers have the opportunity to take patient vitals, obtain patient history and current symptoms, shadow and assist licensed physicians and dentists, participate in preventative education, and fill prescriptions under a licensed pharmacist

I would really appreciate your donation!!!
Thank you
