Stony Brook Medica/Dental/Public Health Hybrid Brigade May 2015 Nicaragua



Julia's Message

Please help me to raise money for my Global Medical Brigade trip to Nicaragua! Any amount is appreciated. Your money will be going to help those in need and create change that will make a lasting difference. I've always been inspired by those the people who go on these non-profit trips, taking out their own time to help in any way they can. I would love to be a part of this great change.

Nicaragua is the second poorest country in all of the western hemisphere and half of the people there live below the poverty line. Making only an average of $3,300, we need to raise money to send over medicine and bring over doctors to help hundreds of families during our stay. Some people there don't even know what a toothbrush is. The Global Medical Brigades is going there to give immediate attention as well as teach them proper hygiene and build plumbing to help make a sustainable change.

All proceeds will go directly to this trip and it's even tax deductible.
Thank you so much!

Volunteer Activity Description

: Global Brigades offers 7 day Medical Brigades for volunteers to participate in throughout the year. During a medical brigade, 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
