AYUDA is a culturally
conscientious, sustainability focused, youth-empowering global health
organization that serves in diabetes communities abroad. We
accept volunteers from all backgrounds and with all experience levels. We are
currently recruiting for our programs in the Dominican Republic and
Haiti. These programs pose an incredible opportunity for
students and young people interested in global health, Spanish or Latin
American studies, medicine, nutrition, sociology, social entrepreneurship, or
simply volunteering to do some good. Our programs include an extensive
healthcare management, language, and cultural training program, and provide
students with an in-country field experience, which most
describe as life-changing.
The application is now live! Please help us and
those at your school by forwarding this email to any pertinent list-serve or
student who might be interested in AYUDA. Please read below for more
information.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Jon Stein,
Director
