My Travel Story

Hello, I am planning to go on a medical volunteer internship in Guatemala to help others who do not have the same resources provided in the United States. I want to make a difference in the world and help others who are in need because not a lot of people in the poorer countries have access to healthcare. I will be following a licensed physician in helping treat people and work hands-on with patients. I will personally be assisting doctors, teaching a hygiene-class, distribute medication, triage, and much more. I am very passionate about this volunteer mission because this will make me exposed to other conditions in other countries that communities are explored in. I want to be a future doctor myself and this trip will help me be exposed to the field further. This trip is very close to my heart cause I am always willing to help others and I do not want my lack of financial needs to stop me which is why I'm doing everything I can to be able to attend this trip.
