Review for Project C.U.R.E., Centennial, CO, USA
I am just finishing up a 10 week internship with PROJECT C.U.R.E. I was interested in this organization because of the unique way they combine green practices (reducing medical waste) and global healthcare. The staff here is welcoming, motivated and hard working. Everyone seems to work towards the same goal: Delivering life-giving medical supplies and equipment to resource-starved hospitals and clinics.
I really respect the process that they follow before they even ship the supplies over. Each clinic or hospital that request supplies is first evaluated by a volunteer, who travels to that hospital or clinic to see first-hand what the needs are. Then a report if filled and the needs are matched in the best way we can based on the supplies in the different warehouses. I appreciate that PROJECT C.U.R.E tries its best to be the best stewards with the resources they have been given.
I also LOVE the fact that with PROJECT C.U.R.E you really can "track" where your donation goes to. They always have several large containers headed to various countries around the world that you can pledge your money to.
More Feedback
I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
I have been donating money to supply the C.U.R.E Kits to groups I know will be traveling overseas soon. With a $150.00 donation they will be able to check a second "bag" (really its a box) full of $1,500 worth of medical supplies to then take to a local hospital or clinic that needs it.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
Try to let more individuals know how easy it can be to get life-saving medical supplies to the overseas professionals and communities that desperately need them.
Would you volunteer for this group again?

Did your volunteer experience have an effect on you? (teaching you a new skill, or introducing new friends, etc.)
I have learned some fund raising techniques and I have also learned so much about global healthcare and the issue of the American medial community and how many perfectly good supplies and equipment ends up in our landfills. I also really enjoyed getting to know the staff and fellow volunteers from all different walks of life.
How did this volunteer experience make you feel?
I really enjoyed the impact I could see I was making with the organization. I could see the C.U.R.E Kits I picked up and took to friends for their overseas trips. I felt good that my donation seemed to go so far thanks to PROJECT C.U.R.E!
