Medical patients have my heart
June 27, 2025by: Solivel Carmona - United StatesProgram: Medical Volunteers Needed—Work in Peru!Michael absolutely rocks! So do Dina and Dr. Estrella. I loved this campaign dearly. The patients were so kind and generous, offering us food, love, and comfort despite having little of their own. Monica was also so kind, loving, and understanding. Gracias Maximo Nivel!!

I have always loved traveling. I've been to several counties within Asia, Europe, North America, as well as Australia and New Zealand. I was always moved most when I traveled to 3rd world countries and saw just how much they needed and yet how welcoming and happy they appeared. I wanted to go to South America, particularly Cusco, Peru. This time I decided it was time to give back. So I applied for a volunteer mission as a nurse, which is the profession I hold in Canada. As expected, there was a very strong need for nurses and health care workers in general so the process was short and sweet. I saved for my plane ticket and off I went.

By volunteering with Maximo Nivel, I was able to volunteer and be immersed in the culture of the city I helped in. Traveling has always been a passion of mine, and this program allowed me to travel the world in an aspect most tourists never get to experience!
