Excellent Opportunity

I had an amazing experience with FIMRC Alejuelita the Summer of 2007. I spent a month there, doing a homestay. Mornings were for clinic work--I was able to get hands on experience and observations with the medical team and provide health education. Afternoons were for teaching health programs to the kids in the area, on topics like brushing your teeth and healthy foods. I was able to greatly improve my Spanish knowledge and travel to a variety of areas in Costa Rica--so beautiful there!

The staff was dedicated and committed, my homestay family was friendly and inclusive, and my fellow volunteers a lot of fun. Greatly recommended, particularly for those interested in healthcare.
