AMAZING student experience!

This summer I worked with a company called GLA and took a group of about 30 high school students on this program and both me and the students were so happy with the experience! We got to spend 2 weeks on the beach and working with local doctors and nurses to provide healthcare to underserved communities. The students were able to witness and serve both Dominican and Hatian communities and learn the importance of global health and human security. Additionally, we worked on building a local clinic for the same communities to have full time access to free healthcare! What an amazing transformative experience!!
