A Positive and Welcoming Experience with Great People
November 22, 2024by: Ria GormanProgram: Medical,Nursing and Dentistry Electives (In-Person & Online)Overall, this has been a wonderful experience. The group of volunteers has been fantastic, and the staff at the medical post have been incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming. There hasn’t been anything negative about my time here. While the local culture took a little getting used to, everything else has been great, and I’ve truly enjoyed every part of it. The positive atmosphere and the people made this experience unforgettable.
A Truly Immersive and Welcoming Community Experience
November 17, 2024by: Jack BrennerProgram: Medical,Nursing and Dentistry Electives (In-Person & Online)One of the aspects I've enjoyed most about my time at EcoSwell has been the complete immersion in the close-knit community of Lobitos. Getting to know everyone has been wonderful—both the EcoSwell team and the town itself are incredibly welcoming. It’s clear that the locals appreciate having us here, not just as volunteers but as individuals, which made me feel part of something special. From day one, it felt less like a group of coworkers and more like friends, almost like a family. This warm, inclusive atmosphere has made my experience truly memorable.
A Unique Blend of Learning and Fun in the Medical Program
November 16, 2024by: Isabel ElkingtonProgram: Medical,Nursing and Dentistry Electives (In-Person & Online)I've really enjoyed the past few weeks—it’s been such an interesting experience. Being part of the medical program has been eye-opening, allowing me to gain valuable insights. But, without a doubt, the highlight for me has been surfing. I've had so much fun catching waves and truly enjoyed every moment out on the water. This mix of professional learning and personal enjoyment made for an unforgettable experience.
