Global Health Summer Internship Honduras

Jelyca's Message

**Last summer, 2012, I was fortunate enough to travel to Honduras with the Public Health Brigades Chapter from my school. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience building the hygiene station, teaching the kids, and, within a short time frame, building a relationship with the community members. Seeing their emotional responses to our efforts was really powerful; it was incredible to see the appreciation they had for one week of our time. The week got me thinking about how privileged we Americans are (the masons were even poking fun at us for being a little weak, haha.) As hard as we brigaders worked, it was the work ethic and strong community sense of care exuding from the masons, workers, and families that was motivating us to keep it up. The memories of the time I spent in Honduras often get rekindled when I think about some of the public health topics we discuss in classes, and the experience will continue to have an impact on my view of the world and health care.

Why Participate in the Internship?

From a 2012 Summer Intern-

\\\\\\\"For the first several weeks after I got home from the internship, I was unable to talk about anything else. I told anyone and everyone who would listen everything I had done, learned, and experienced. Spending a whole month in Honduras working with Global Brigades and getting a glimpse of its long-term successes inspired me and brought me alive. And from conversations with my fellow interns, I know they felt the same transformation and the same desire to share their experience when they returned home.\\\\\\\"
