Rutgers University Medical/Dental/Public Health Brigade January 2016 Nicaragua



Rucha's Message

Hello Friends and Family!

This past summer I applied to participate on a Global Brigade service trip to Nicaragua and I recently received my acceptance email!!!! Our journey begins on January 6th, from which we will spend 9 days partaking in a wide range of tasks; from filling and distributing hygienic goodie bags, to building eco-friendly stoves in the local homes, and I will even have the opportunity to get some hands on medical experience by checking the vitals of patients and shadowing the accompanying doctors.

As many of you know I am a political science major so you might ask why a medical global brigade? Having an older sister that has devoted her life to public health, I have always been inspired watching her go to so many different places around the world volunteering her time. Through her influence and watching several of my other close friends go on past brigade trips, I was motivated to apply. Having a political science major would allow me to attend this trip with a different perspective! My dreams of working in government and hopefully working with public policy, I hope that this trip will allow me to gain experience and truly see what our world has to offer and how we can empower rural communities in places like Nicaragua.
I hope to make a difference on this trip, but I need your help to make this dream of mine become a reality! I would be forever grateful if you consider donating to my trip and help become part of this amazing opportunity to truly make a difference in under-resourced communities!

Follow the link and donate to my page! Every little bit counts! Thank you so much in advance! If you have any other questions feel free to message me! :)

Volunteer Activity Description

Global Brigades offers 7-9 day Medical Brigades throughout the year in Honduras, Panama and Nicaragua. During a Medical Brigade, volunteers have the opportunity to take vitals and patient history in triage, shadow licensed doctors in medical consultations, and assist in a pharmacy under the direction of licensed pharmacists. Each of our partner communities receives a brigade approximately twice a year. Between brigades, our in-country team maintains relationships with the communities to provide follow-up and to conduct Community Health Worker (CHW) trainings to empower local leaders to sustain a consistent level of healthcare. Electronic patient records are collected for future visitations and to monitor overall community health trends.
