“I had an amazing experience volunteering in Guatemala with A Broader View. As a medical student, I was able to work alongside local doctors and nurses to provide healthcare services to rural communities. The hands-on experience was invaluable, and I was truly humbled by the gratitude and resilience of the people we served. I would highly recommend this program to anyone considering volunteering overseas in the medical field.”

“My time in Uganda as a volunteer nurse was life-changing. Working with Nurses Without Borders gave me the opportunity to help bring much-needed healthcare to communities with limited access to medical care. I was able to collaborate with local healthcare providers and learn from their knowledge and experience. The relationships I built
and the impact we made on the community are things I will carry with me for the rest of my life. If you’re a nurse or nursing student looking to make a difference, I can’t recommend this program enough.”
Emily, Dental Volunteer in Peru
“Volunteering with Dentists Without Borders in Peru was an incredibly rewarding experience. I was part of a team of dental professionals who provided essential dental care and oral health education to underserved communities. The connections I made with both the local professionals and the people we served were unforgettable. This trip not only allowed me to give back but also to grow as a dental professional. I would encourage anyone in the dental field to consider volunteering with Dentists Without Borders.”
