Volunteer in a Medical Mission for Free

Wow, I loved this trip. I had no idea that 8 days could change my life. I learned so much more than expected. I was introduced to Peruvian culture in Pucalpa while learning a great deal about the common diagnoses of the area. I've mastered taking blood pressure, heart rate, pregnancy tests, pulse, and glucose finger prick tests and I caught up on my Spanish. I learned so much from the doctors, the nurses, the translators, the local people, the hotel staff, and especially my peers. In the short 8 days we were there, we became a family. It was an amazing experience I'll never forget.
I cannot wait to go on my next trip. I want to go everywhere and volunteer!

My experience with iHelp Globally was absolutely amazing. As a student looking to learn more about health care, this program gave me incredible hands-on experience with medical skills, patient care, and dealing with language barriers. The clinic days were full of both learning and laughter. It was awesome to be fully immersed in a different culture, to create friendships with locals abroad and other volunteers, and to give medical care to those who need it the most. If I had to describe my experience with iHelp Globally in one word, it would be "rewarding." It was rewarding to know I helped make a difference in the various communities, but it was also rewarding to visit a place that made me appreciate the little things many people take for granted. Overall, I would definitely recommend this program to anyone looking to gain experience with health care, anyone who wants to travel, or anyone who wants to help make a difference in people's lives.

I had a great time with iHelp Globally in Pucallpa, Peru. I went as a pre-nursing student from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo who had never been out of the country before and it was a wonderful trip. Everyone was very welcoming and I made many friends with not only other volunteers but everyone on the trip. It was a great way to give back and learn a lot not only about medicine, but about a different culture and language. Overall I would recommend this trip to anyone looking to explore a beautiful country, learn and help do good work in the world.

I absolutely loved my experience with iHelp Globally. The program is well organized and the people involved are helpful and very nice. Visiting and volunteering in impoverished communities was eye-opening and humbled me and gave me perspective. I am a pre-medical student at UC Davis and participating in this program gave me medical experience and insight into what healthcare is like in other countries. Overall, it was a great experience where I learned a lot, had experiences that will help my professional career, and had a great time visiting another country as well.

I had the wonderful opportunity to travel overseas to Peru with iHelpGlobally. It was honestly a life changing experience. I had the opportunity to give back to Peruvian community and became completely immersed in their culture. I worked with healthcare professionals and meet new volunteers who had the same purpose as me- giving back and gaining a well rounded experience. Through IHG, I met amazing people, helped the community, and had the experience to travel to a country I had never been to before.
