💼 What the programme involves
Shadowing health professionals and the eventual creation of bonds of trust between nurses and volunteers in a busy clinic encourages the knowledge exchange, enriching both the local staff and those proactive
foreigners with a desire to learn.
You will participate in the everyday activities showing a strong commitment permanently (arriving on time, showing desire for learning, observing what nurses do, asking, etc.).
Since this Clinic has different centers around the Village, you will work in some other centers eventually.
Working days are from Monday to Friday, mainly during mornings.
🏠 Accommodation on site
You will live in an apartment with other volunteers and have two meals included: breakfast and dinner (you could arrange to have lunch instead if you prefer). It is probable that you will share your room with another participant. Normally there are single beds but in some apartment there are bunk beds. Hot shower, towels and laundry facilities are at your disposal. All apartments have tv and wifi access available. There are some apartments that offer laundry service for a small extra cost (it depends on each place).
