Review

I loved volunteering at IVHQ and Maximo Nivel. They start every monday so you don't have to go at the time the group is going. It's also very affordable. The fee pays for your homestay, 2 meals and 5 hours/day of volunteering. They custom made our volunteer program as I'm a rehab physician and I don't do acute medicine. All the patients were similar to patients I see in the US. They gave us a translator (even though I speak spanish, as many of the patients speak their mayan dialect) We also got to teach yoga and do some wellness care. I was with a pre med student and a nursing student. Our clinic was called "Mis Anos Dorado" or the golden years. The patients were so grateful and you felt like you could really help. Next time I'm bringing yoga mats and eyeglasses!

Would you recommend this program?
Yes, I would
