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.

"I went to make a difference in the lives of others, when in fact I witnessed a greater change in myself. This experience made me a more confident and fearless woman." @jankidoodlebug just posted a FIMRC guest blog on her three months serving at #ProjectAlajuelita and how her experience helped her understand and foster her feminine power. 💪 https://www.fimrc.org/blog #FIMRC #FemininePower #CostaRica
Healthy isn’t just about seeing a doctor in the clinic. Dr. Karen makes sure her patients know that by meeting them in the community.
“I have made friends with some of the kids here. I met an 8 year old boy named Juanito who reminds me a lot of my ten year old brother. He lives at Amanacer, a foster home for teen moms and their children. He likes to play games with me and always shouts my name when I walk in the door. I know I’m going to miss him the most when I go back home. I have definitely learned to take nothing for granted. I have also learned to be happy and content whatever my circumstances. Many people get caught up in their desire for more. More luxuries, more money, more material objects. Family is extremely important to the people here in Huancayo and to me as well. I think it is because you draw your true happiness from the ones you love and not from the things you own. As long as you live with love for the people in your life, no matter your circumstances you can always find real lasting happiness.” - Our first ✨Spotlight Volunteer, Nathan, who went to Huancayo, Peru this summer! Thank you @n8_p8_da_gr8 for serving with us!

Copica is 8 years old and is no beginner when it comes to physical therapy for cerebral palsy. Thanks to the Church of South India’s Early Intervention Program in Kodaikanal, she actively works toward goals of independence. For many kids in this region, diagnoses like cerebral palsy are overlooked and physical disabilities go unaddressed due to local stigmas. We are honored to help provide community health education to combat harmful stigmas, and to ensure that children like Copica are able to attend PT regularly. #FIMRC
