Passionate About:

My name is Paul Peso and I'm currently a senior biology major at Boston College. I'm very excited for the trip to Nicaragua with the Global Medical Brigades. I've always wanted to work in a clinic that provides care for people that lack basic medical necessities, and now I have that opportunity. After graduation, I plan to attend medical school and hopefully have a career in medicine. This trip will give me amazing experience and new perspective in the medical field. My goal is to raise $1,790, which will go towards medicine, medical supplies, and the cost of travel. Any donation will help! Thank you!

About Us

Boston College is a chapter of Global Medical Brigades, an international movement of students and medical professionals working alongside local communities and staff to implement sustainable health systems. We work in remote, rural, and under resourced communities in Honduras, Panama, Nicaragua and Ghana who would otherwise have limited to no access to health care. Each community receives a brigade every 3 to 4 months where hundreds of patients are provided access to healthcare and volunteers deliver public health workshops. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends. nnIn conjunction with our Medical Program, Global Brigades also supports communities with economic development, sanitation and clean water projects, and uniquely implements these programs in a holistic model to meet a community’s health and economic goals. Our model systematically builds community ownership and collaboratively executes programs with the end goal of sustainably evolving to a relationship of impact monitoring.
