A Firsthand Look at Our Sites Abroad

 

At times, it can be hard to picture what your volunteer experience will be like. It can be a challenge to truly grasp the impact that we're having on the ground. It can even be tricky to imagine what the living conditions are like. That's why we've started a video series - to help bring to life our commitment to the communities we serve.

“Enseñé los niños sobre la nutrición y un plato ideal.” - @kyrahayden_16 🌐 Summer International Health Fellows in Peru recently taught lessons in local kindergarten classes on nutrition and the importance of a balanced diet. In this region of #Chanchamayo, kids are commonly found to be anemic... we’re changing that! #FIMRC
Sending out some #PuraVida vibes. ✌️🌐😊 #VolunteerAbroad #CostaRica 📸: @caitlin_farrington
1,200 students in Anconcito, Ecuador now have access to clean drinking water all day long! Students and staff at Cesar Rohon Elementary School are excited to use their new water fountain, designed and installed by FIMRC volunteers with @ewbusa at @myrwu. The water that flows from the fountain is filtered through a UV filter, and the drainage is reused to water two flower boxes next to the fountain! 💧🌸♻️ #FIMRC
It is with great sorrow and a heavy heart that we have to say goodbye to our loved Pediatrician, Dra. Maria Angelica Gutierrez. She was an intelligent, caring, loving part of our FIMRC team and she will forever be missed. The care that she brought to the children within the communities we serve was so valuable, always providing it with grace, intelligence, and empathy...and in heels of course! She will be missed greatly and forever remembered in our hearts. We send her family and friends our condolences, love, and support during this unexpected and difficult time.

“Since I’ve been in the Philippines there has been so much I’ve learned and experienced already: • I’ve given the oral polio vaccine to babies • Aided in distributing other vaccines • Learned to take a manual blood pressure • Learned to take glucose levels • Watched a hormonal implant be administered • Walked through the largest public hospital • Kept children in the cancer ward company while making jewelry • Learned some of the native language • Shadowed midwives and medical interns • Experienced Filipino food and hospitality This country and culture is so beautiful! In just the 3 days we have been working we have l have been able to experience so much and each day bring more new adventures and experiences. #FIMRCfamily” @katherinemw_w #FIMRC #ProjectCavite

“This summer I had the opportunity to complete my Master’s Practicum with FIMRC at their health clinic in Uganda. It was the experience of a lifetime. Not only did I develop skills that I will use throughout my career, but I was also able to immerse myself in another culture and explore a new country. If I had the chance to do it all again, I definitely would.” @misslumily #FIMRC #ProjectBududa
We’re determined to help our malnourished children reach healthy weight goals! Each month at our clinic in El Salvador we provide vitamins, track weight changes, and help create meal plans with families. #pediatrics #fimrc #ProjectLasDelicias
10 doctors, 4 medical campaigns, 344 patients! We’ve been impressed by the physicians from @thisissiu and pharmacy students from @notredameofmd who served with us in Peru.
