Casa Nazareth Medical Project Costa Rica

Volunteering with Maximo Nivel in Costa Rica was a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. I was lucky enough to be placed in Casa Nazareth and volunteer with the elderly. This experience was rewarding because you get to build relationships with the residents and staff at the facility. I did a one week project at Casa Nazareth and our duties included, but not limited to, checking vital signs, assisting with wound care, assist with feeds, physical therapy, arts and crafts, having conversations and so much more than that is creating special bonds with each and everyone there! Through Maximo Nivel I got placed in an amazing home stay with a great family, including a dog! The family was so welcoming and made me feel right at home. The staff at Maximo Nivel was there throughout the whole process for any help we needed and even checked in with us the whole week at our project to see if I needed anything or needed help with anything. The general orientation and individual project orientation explained everything in detail and made me feel comfortable in a foreign country. I came to Costa Rica not knowing what to expect from this experience but now I'm leaving sad because I am part of a family with Maximo Nivel, not only with the staff but with the other volunteers, I have built life long relationships with everyone including staff, home stay family, the residents and staff at Casa Nazareth and the other volunteers! Thank you Maximo Nivel! I am highly recommending your organization!
