| Volunteer in Kenya
program manages health projects to
medical students or professionals.
Participating in a health care volunteer
project opens tremendous opportunities
for volunteers to experience new opportunities
in their lives and careers, allows
volunteers to immerse themselves in
another culture, and provides a positive
contribution to the community where
health care volunteers are needed.
Opportunities are available in a number
of rural health centers in Kenya.
Volunteers will provide health education,
assist dentists, or help provide medical
treatment to patients. While working
on this project, volunteers will share
knowledge, time, skills and talents
with the health care staff of the
centers.
Volunteers in the
health care project will also engage
in some of the vital activities of
medical treatment such as dressing
wounds, taking patients' histories,
counseling patients, providing assurance
and moral support to patients' families,
and disbursing medicines. While working
in this project you will become highly
involved with the needs of the medical
field, where each of the health centers
get about 10-40 patients per day.
