A 30-year-old dream come true

Every step of the process was so well taken care of at IVHQ, from registering to 24/7 support on the ground. I felt safe, cared for, and supported in this unique experience. Besides the fact that Tanzania is just an amazing place with very special people. My placement at a local hospital was well vetted, the IVHQ staff regularly checked with me to ensure the appropriate match, and I had extra opportunities for health outreach in the villages, drug/alcohol rehab center, and women's groups. The program was flexible around tourist opportunities around the work schedule - I summited Mt. Kilimanjaro, camped on safari with experienced guides, and the staff also was on hand to take us on a whim to local waterfalls, hikes, and restaurants. Highly recommend this program. It was everything I wished for plus more.
