Such a unique experience and very well planned! Great balance between clinical work, learning, service, connecting with locals, and exploring a new city and culture. Our guide Gladys was so kind and made us all feel safe.

I had a fantastic time. The people on the trip were so much fun and nice. I’m glad we were immersed in the community and were able to help these people and also learn about their way of life. Gladys was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and had answers to pretty much everything. I loved her. If I was to do this slt again, I would want her to be my trip leader. I loved our conversation. Literally telling her that I wish I could bring her home with me 😂😂😂. Everything was great, loved that we had our own rooms. Loved the mobile clinics and glad I got to be in OBGYN and also educate patients on cervical cancer. I literally only remember good things about the trip. Can’t really think of anything bad atall. Overall, this was a great experience and can’t wait to do it again. Thank you Gladys
