Missouri State Occupational Therapy Review

My experience with Therapy Volunteers in Belize was unforgettable and played a huge role in shaping my growth as a future occupational therapist. I felt welcomed, supported, and inspired by the incredible team and the meaningful work being done within the community.

One of the most impactful aspects of the program was the opportunity to apply what I’ve learned in a real-world setting. Working directly with individuals in need of therapeutic services allowed me to deepen my understanding of occupational therapy beyond the classroom. I was able to observe and participate in a variety of interventions, adapt activities based on client needs, and develop a greater appreciation for culturally responsive care.

Amrita and Maya demonstrated passion, knowledge, and dedication throughout our time in Belize. They created a space where I felt comfortable asking questions, seeking guidance, and stepping outside of my comfort zone.

Immersing myself in a new culture, connecting with the local community, and gaining a broader perspective on global healthcare were all invaluable parts of this journey.

Overall, my time with Therapy Volunteers in Belize exceeded my expectations in every way. It is truly an experience I will carry with me for the rest of my life.
