As part of our agenda to provide accessible health care to the ordinary citizens, we need professionals and non-professional medical volunteers (medical students) to reach out to individuals, generously offering their time, knowledge and skills to heal lives.
The district need volunteer students on international missions to help educate children and families about good preventive health care, play therapy for hospitalized children, and administrative supportive role for medical teams. Most importantly, when volunteers help others in need, they learn how they can make an impact on the world and become true global citizens
