HLD 2013

Help, Learn and Discover is a fantastic program that I would recommend to anyone who is passionate about global aid, nature, culture and medicine.

My favorite portion of the trip was being in the hospital. Each rotation allowed me to appreciate the different fields of medicine and effectively taught me a great deal of each subject. The tutors were very knowledgeable and fun which made the long hours worth every second.

Building houses for and with the communities was another rewarding experience. I really liked that the community members were working alongside of the volunteers so that they could feel a sense of accomplishment when the houses were finished. The kids in the community were so much fun and were the best motivation for digging in 40 degree weather.

The discover portion of the trip pushed my limits of fear with adrenaline based activities. Through this experience I made great friends who share the same interests that I do.
