New York University Medical Internship to Peru, May 2024



Joli's Message

My name is Joli, and I am a passionate advocate for being at service to others. A 23-year old Dominican-American with the aspirations of becoming a healthcare provider in the future, my goal is to amplify the voices of marginalized communities and use my knowledge to help serve them in a compassionate way. As I continue to navigate through life, I realize how much our health really plays a critical role in wellbeing and ability to just live. This is why I am passionate about advocating for the healthcare of others.

Everyone deserves good quality and accessible healthcare, because our health is vital to how we function individually and as a world. That is why I am eager to lead a group of other passionate students to provide healthcare and economic relief to low and middle income families in Peru during summer 2024 with VAW Summer Medical Team. I am looking to raise $1,000 to help me pay for medical supplies, medications, and medical training to provide to the local community in Peru that I will be working with.

When you donate, you are providing one person, family, and/or child with the opportunity to have access to medicine and to treat their healthcare needs. When you selflessly give, you are helping someone in need regain their autonomy to their health and wellbeing.

As the great Greek fabulist said, "No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." Please give what you can, if you can! A reshare will also be gratefully appreciated.

I am grateful for your support and the opportunity to work on this mission with VAW Medical!

Volunteer Activity Description

Join the New York University chapter as they lead a Medical Outreach Internship to Peru this upcoming Summer! interns 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 Global at New York 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 interning with VAW Global is bringing medication to the less fortunate. In 2023, VAW Global treated over 17,500 patients and we aspire to treat over 20,000 in 2024! 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.
