Catawba College Medical Outreach trip to Peru, December 2017



Robert's Message

Finishing up my sophomore year at Catawba College, I was made aware of an opportunity with Volunteers Around the World (VAW). This organization arranges various medical mission trips around the world, and from the first notification I received about VAW I was immediately drawn to it. At this point, I have reserved my spot for a medical mission trip to Peru this upcoming December of my junior year. I would immensely appreciate any sort of monetary donation, large or small, because it is only bringing me one step closer to Peru in December! If anyone has any questions please never hesitate to contact me, I would love to tell you all about it! Thank you, and love you all!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Catawba College chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru this upcoming winter! Volunteers will work in mobile medical clinics, where they will have the opportunity to intake patients, conduct public health surveys, take vitals, shadow local physicians, work in the pharmacy, teach education classes, and much more! If you’re interested in joining, contact us for more information!

VAW at Catawba will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Peru.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2016, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2017. One of the things that make our mobile clinics unique is that we not only triage and diagnose patients, but also provide them with the basic medications needed. Fundraising for medications is a huge part of creating a successful mobile clinic to help the local communities with effective care.

**Note: airfare goal will be updated once flights are purchased, tentatively the week of September 18-22, 2017
