Ohio State University Medical Outreach trip to Peru, May 2019



Grace's Message

I am super excited to have the amazing opportunity to travel for 2 weeks and help out in a mobile medical clinic in an underdeveloped community in Peru this May. If you know me then you know I love to travel and explore new places and I am super passionate about medical care and fundraising and awareness of cancer and diseases.
I love that I am getting to go on such a humbling trip in which I get to give my time to a community that really needs our help in bettering its medical care while getting to experience the communities culture. My two week adventure includes 2 travel days, a day to acclimate to the climate, 6 clinical days, an education day, and 4 free days. While I am there I will be working in the clinic for 6 days and will be taking vitals, getting patients history, shadowing doctors, and helping out in the pharmacy. I also will have a day to hang out with kids at a school teaching them some basic hygiene skills and just spending time with them. We also will be given 4 days to explore the area. During this time I plan to tour some local historical and stunning destinations including Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
If you want to help me out on my way towards this amazing trip you can donate on this page.

I am beyond excited and I would be so appreciative to have you support and prayer!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the Ohio State University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach trip to Peru 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 Ohio State University 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 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 January 21-25***
