Global Brigades, Inc.

“I loved that I had the opportunity to provide healthcare services to those without access and was also able to expand upon my knowledge and comfortability with the Spanish language. So many people were helped through this experience and I gained a lot more knowledge and hands-on skills taking blood pressure and other vitals, as well as shadowing dentists with extractions and cleanings.”

“They taught me the importance of humility and kindness. Many of the people I encountered, believe in helping others before themselves. They understand what order to truly make a difference in their community, they could not be selfish. It is easy to look at this community and think they don't have very much but leaving this community I felt they had more to offer than any of us on this trip. This experience opened up more opportunities and was a bigger picture to my life. It’s easy to take things for granted and I will forever be grateful and humbled for the endless memories and learning opportunities I have gained through my brigade and I can not wait to go back and visit in May. ”
