My Nonprofit Reviews

I was a volunteer with MEDICO in 2010 as a Spanish interpreter in Nicaragua. We stayed on a coffee plantation and provided health care services to about 1200 needy villagers over our 5 days. It was one of the most rewarding and positive experiences of my life. I joined an experienced team of dentists, doctors, nurses and in-country interpreters to provide triage assistance to the doctors and dentists.
Our trip was excellently organized from the moment we boarded the airplane until we landed at LAX a week later. Coordination of housing, food, materials, and in country volunteers was so well done and made all of our "jobs" easier. The leaders of this program are compassionate, knowledgeable, and dedicated experts with the unified goal of providing care for the poor.
I would highly recommend volunteering for this fabulous organization. It will prove to be a highlight in your life--paying it back! The Nicaraguan villagers were so grateful for our help.
