Passionate About:

I am passionate about helping better the lives of others, especially those who need it most. I just want to make the world a better place and I think that starts with helping those most in need. I'm also passionate about science and the medical field in particular. A combination of the two is like a dream come true for me, which is why I joined Volunteers Around the World and hope to pursue global health in the future.

Volunteer Activity Message

Join the UC Santa Cruz chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Panama this upcoming summer! 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 UCSC will be opening up mobile medical clinics for local communities during their time in Panama.

One of the most exciting and important parts of volunteering with VAW is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2018, VAW treated over 35,000 patients and we aspire to treat over 45,000 in 2019. 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 April 29-May 3, 2019
