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.

Pure joy on this #February11 as girls (and boys) from the Naranjal School First Aid Brigade receive their certificates of completion! After finishing our two-month “Emer-Campo” program, these six students went on to receive additional first aid training to act as the "First Aid Brigade" in case of an emergency at their school. #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience #FIMRC
"This trip opened up a whole new passion I didn’t know existed. I am committed to helping patients near and far and to help close the gap in quality of care around the world." Thank you @mmaneevese and our crew from @wearfigs for serving with us in Peru! 🙏🇵🇪 We are lucky to have volunteers like you who make our mission possible. #VolunteerSpotlight #FIMRCfamily #ProjectHuancayo #womeninmedicine #wearFIGS

“What was really special about Project Anconcito was getting to witness young children conceptualize and internalize the notion that they have agency. I saw young girls creating images of themselves as doctors. Watching them feel joy as they shared their aspirations with one another was a very special moment for me.” @makda18 New blog on #FIMRC #ProjectAnconcito by Makda, @catreills & @hopppscotch at FIMRC.org/blog 🇪🇨

Meet FIMRC Volunteer Seanna Kenny, who recently returned from a trip to Project Alajuelita in Costa Rica! A nursing student at @muschealth, Seanna spent her time working with patients in our community health clinic. She helped take vitals and provide essential health education to our patients. Beyond assisting with clinical duties, the experiences that held the biggest impact on her were the connections she was able to make with patients and other FIMRC team members. "One thing that really made Project Alajuelita top notch was how welcoming everyone was from day one. It was such a feeling of genuine love and care for one another," she said. After serving in Costa Rica, Seanna and her fellow Global Health Volunteer, Mardie, presented highlights from their trip to their cohorts. Our favorite part about this presentation was hearing that Seanna had such a great experience that she decided to book another trip to serve with us, this time at our project site in Huancayo, Peru! We're very excited to see her and other MUSC nursing students again this spring! Stay tuned for more #SpotlightVolunteer updates from #FIMRC volunteers around the world!

Vaccines save lives. We know shots can be scary, but it always helps to have a friend by your side. Tag a friend who's always there for you.
“Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” –Martin Luther King, Jr. 🙏 Happy #MLKDay from your #FIMRCfamily. #MLKDay2019
