The morning will be dedicated to an orientation meeting where we will cover what to expect for the week, safety precautions, and a brief training course on our Mobile Clinics. Meals are not included today, but there are lots of great places to eat nearby.

On a MEDLIFE Reality Tour, volunteers join our staff in the field to learn about partner communities and their daily challenges. It's often volunteers' first exposure to extreme poverty, making it one of the most impactful experiences of their trip. The tour aims to introduce volunteers to the area's culture and history, laying the groundwork for cultural awareness and sensitivity, vital when serving communities abroad.

Support Mobile Clinics in various communities. Each day, clinics are in a different area. Depart at 7 am via bus, unpack supplies, and assist health professionals. Clinics start at 8-9 am, activities include triage, educational talks, and medical consultations, with volunteers assisting physicians and managing prescriptions. Clinics close between 1-3 pm. Evenings may feature post-clinic activities or free time to explore the city.

On this day, join locals for a community project like renovation or construction. We'll depart at 7:30 am, so wear suitable attire for manual work. After completion, celebrate with the community. Return to the hostel around 2:30-4:00 pm for a wrap-up session with the MEDLIFE team.
