Global Brigades in Honduras


I'm rushing my packing (surprise, surprise) in order to catch my super early morning flight. Thank you all for the support and prayers! I will be updating as much as I can through this blog. Here's a brief recap as to what my school will be doing with the Medical and Dental Brigades...

Our group will be staying in a secured compound in Nuevo Paraiso. The compound provides bunk beds, internet, a cafeteria, washer dryer, and a health clinic. Every morning our medical group will eat breakfast and then head out to the village by bus to provide health care to the villagers. We'll be back by the evening.

Our large group will be broken up into smallar groups, consisting of dental students, medical students, a physician, and a dentist. Our interprofessional group will be able provide all sorts of health care needs! We will all be trained to do sutures, dental extractions, charting, triaging, and much more. Over 200 patients will be seen a day Mon-Friday. We will get weekends off to explore the culture and the rich history of Honduras. But other than that, it will be work, work, work for 2 full weeks! I included a video that will allow you to take a peek at what we will be doing.

This will be my first medical mission's trip in a third world country. I am excited about the trip and I can't wait to share this wonderful experience with you all!
