"How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world." -Anne Frank

Monetary Donations - all profits recieved are charitable donations which are tax exempt and are used directly for the clinic; money is used for purchasing medicines, supplies and fund patients' further work ups . 

Physicians, Physician's Assistants, Nurse Practitioners- We welcome the anyone who has a desire to travel and volunteer their time working in the clinics. This year our goal is to have three seperate clinics running for four days. Ideally each clinic would be staffed with 3-4 practitioners. 

Interpreters-Spanish is primarily spoken in Guatemala, however there are other local dialects as well that are predominant. The clinics' success and efficiency hinges on our interpreters being able to effectively communicate.  Interpretors are key to conveying important information such as information related to their health, as well as how to properly take medications.

Clinic support staff- The clinics are also in need of people to volunteer to help the clinic run as smoothly as possible. The day may involve running out for more supplies we may have run out of, organizing medicines or handing triage cards out. Its a great way to be involved in the day to day activites of the clinic and ending the day with a great satisfaction of helping people in need.

Pharmacists: Pharmacists are needed to run the pharmacy- this includes dispensing medications, patient education, keeping stock of medicines, advising practitioners
