One of the highlights of my college experience!

I had the amazing opportunity to volunteer with FIMRC with fellow University of St. Thomas (Houston) students all interested in the health field. From pick-up by Meredith, Alex, and Italo at the airport to our final day, we all enjoyed every moment whether we were playing soccer (and losing miserably) with the kids in Las Delicias, enjoying the food festival in the rainy mountains, sweating it out at the community garden, administering vaccinations, giving community presentations in Spanish, swimming in waterfalls, or learning to salsa in the clinic after hours. Nurse Morena and Dr. Eduardo taught us so much and were absolute sweethearts. THANK YOU to the FIMRC team at Las Delicias for hosting us and giving us the experience of a lifetime. Well-organized with plenty of time to enjoy the sights and sounds of El Salvador- I couldn't have asked for a better experience! I'm currently looking to volunteer with FIMRC again for my Master of Public Health practicum, and many of my fellow FIMRC alumni have gone on to successfully enter medical, pharmacy, dental, optometry, health administration, physical therapy, and public health schools/programs!
