Passionate About:

I am a Biomedical Science student at UCCS with the hopes becoming a doctor in India so that I an help people who can't easily get health care. Besides medicine, India is my passion and it is also the country of my heart. For 3 years I have been teaching myself to speak, read, and write in Hindi. I also can speak Bengali, and Urdu, and I am currently learning Punjabi and Tamil. Serving with Global Medical Brigades will give me experience for medical school, and it will also provide an opportunity for me to learn about practicing medicine outside of the United States. "Aap thank you mat kahiye, instead teen logon ki madad kijiye aap...aur un teeno se kehna ki woh teen aur ki madad karen...duniya badal jayegi" (Don't say thank you, instead help 3 people...and ask those 3 people to help 3 others...the world will change.)

Volunteer Activity Message

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. 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 trends.
