Hello All. Thank you for considering donating to this fundraiser. Although I am not affiliated with Hope Worldwide and the International Church of Christ and do not agree with all their practices, I do believe these volunteer opportunities can change lives. I am going to serve the local community in any capacity. I only wish to serve, learn, and connect with the local people.
The trip and the expenses are detailed in this link here, which is very transparent. The trip essentially is a pop-up ER clinic and community health program. The following services are provided by volunteers:
"During this life-changing brigade experience, volunteers without medical backgrounds have the unique opportunity to (while volunteers with medical backgrounds treat patients):
- Spend time with children while their parents visit healthcare professionals
- Teach children (sometimes adults) how to properly brush their teeth
- Apply fluoride treatment to teeth
- Count thousands of vitamins and medications distributed each day
- Distribute thousands of vitamins to help counter malnutrition
- Distribute hundreds of anti-parasite treatments to help counter waterborne diseases
- Welcome neighbors
- Intake/Register/Prepare neighbors for the clinic
- Escort/Guide/Direct neighbors through the process
- Bilingual volunteers can also help translate"
I am also going to learn from doctors, nurses, and other clinicians as I am applying to medical school this year. I do have medical experience as an EMT and will hopefully help with triage, but am willing to help in any capacity. I have previous experience when I went to Nicaragua for a similar medical brigade and hope to serve Honduras in the same capacity.
Please consider donating! Anything will help; otherwise, I'll be paying out of pocket (as a broke college student).
