My Nonprofit Reviews

If you are interested in being fully immersed in Ghanaian culture while providing life saving health care then ASAP is the avenue for you. I have never felt as fulfilled as I did while on this mission. The rural areas we visited were in desperate need of medical attention. We also spent time educating locals on how to care for their health in our absence. They were very receptive to our topics which included water collection and storage techniques, wound care, nutrition, and many more. In partnership with Sem Frontierras, we visited schools who participated in our literacy project. If you are looking for a non- profit you can simply sign up with and travel with, this would not be a good fit. We were personally involved in fundraising for the medications we needed for villagers, preparing the educational presentations, and researching medical conditions and treatments we could potentially see in that environment. In my opinion, because of my involvement in those areas, I was better prepared to handle the "culture shock" and felt more fulfilled as a human and healthcare provider.
