What to Pack When You Volunteer Abroad
If you are planning volunteering abroad with World Endeavors, one of your biggest questions may be “What should I bring?”…
Many communities in developing countries lack access to adequate healthcare. World Endeavors volunteer projects in healthcare aim to support health clinics and hospitals in these communities. Volunteers provide support and services, including record-keeping, helping patients to and from procedures, making beds, sanitation, and helping to keep long-term pediatric patients occupied and active. In certain countries, we can also arrange opportunities to gain experience in Physical Therapy and Occupational Therapy — providing hippotherapy and hydrotherapy services for children with special needs, or leading patients through exercises at a nursing home under the supervision of trained therapists. Those with compassion and a genuine desire to advocate for the health of vulnerable populations will find plenty of rewarding work through a World Endeavors Healthcare volunteer project.
