Passionate About:

I am passionate about helping people in the most positive way that I can. I remember when I was coming to college, I always told myself that I wanted to partake in as many mission trips as I could and now I am blessed with an opportunity to go on a medical mission to Nicaragua. I am asking for any donation so that you can help me help them. We choose this location because typically there are no doctors within a 20-mile radius, 70% have no access to dental care, and 65% have no access to public sanitation service and on average families typically walk up to 6 hours to get access to water and medical care. This medical mission would give the communities access to doctors and with medical care every 3-4 months. In our 9-day workshop, we will have a dental station, a pharmacy station where we will be counting medication, an education workshop, free consultations for treatments and a gynecology station which will provide free pap smears and pregnancy tests for all women and girls. I am so thankful that I am going to be a part of this mission. Thank you all for your support and God bless

University of Toledo Medical Brigade December 2016 Nicaragua



Volunteer Activity Description

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.
