[Physci_undergrad] Fwd: Global Medical Brigades at UCLA

[Inna Gergel]

> JOIN GLOBAL MEDICAL BRIGADES!!!! Global Medical Brigades at UCLA is a
> student run organization, which strives to provide medical care to
> rural villages in Honduras that lack regular access to a reliable
> source of health care.  Our chapter of GMB is a newly created and
> developing part of a large organization which has clubs at over 25
> universities throughout the nation.  Working together with Honduran
> non-profit organizations we arrange two or three, one week trips per
> year during which we travel to a different village each day bringing a
> mobile clinic to the villagers.  An average GMB trip includes 40-60
> volunteers, 3-5 doctors and 3000 lbs of medicine.
>
> GMB accepts volunteers from all backgrounds.  Our only requirement is
> that you are passionate about helping bring relief to those who are
> less fortunate.  Most of our members have only basic Spanish
> knowledge; however, Spanish speakers are an asset to us and a very
> important part of our program.  Additionally, we do not require that
> our members have any prior medical knowledge.
>
> If you are interested in public health, health, international
> development, spanish, or would just like to help bring aid to Honduras
> check out GMB.  We will be having an information session on:
