We are a charity focused on health promotion and disease prevention through our project CESAPU - Centro de Salud Pública..
Volunteering Activities
What We Need
Hands to Care: We need volunteers and interns to participate in the medical campaigns. The volunteer will be expected to be able to take height, weight, blood pressure, respiration rates, pulse, and clinical history. The volunteer will also be trained to do the following: glucose meter tests for diabetes, auscultation exams, and potentially assist the nurses with administering vaccines. Public health education is essential to the Hands to Care volunteer as well.
Hands to Teach: We need volunteers and interns who are interested in education or who just love kids and want to give teaching a try. You will be expected to follow a set curriculum/ program using set standards of discipline and reward.
Anyone interested in public health work, women's empowerment, environmental interaction, sexual and reproductive health rights.
¡Doctors and nurses welcome!
