Volunteer Abroad and Help a Kid with His-Her Healthcare Needs

The 2011 Padrino Program for Health and Education

Sponsor a Child Today

Grant them the Basic Needs They Are Asking For Below

And See How Your Participation Brings its Own Rewards….

Through our new program, you can easily become “Un Padrino” of one or several children in southwest Nicaragua and help a whole community get out of poverty.

Darwin Moises is one of Limon, Nicaragua children we have selected who are waiting to find a sponsor. You can give him a chance to escape poverty by providing her with some of life’s basic needs:

·      With a $25-dollar a month donation for an entire year, we will be able to cover a set of three uniforms for the entire year and notebooks and books to study to help her perform better in school.

·      With a $50-dollar a month donation for an entire year, we will be able to cover a set of three uniforms for the entire year, notebooks and books to study to help her perform better in school and an entire year of healthcare protection including a monthly visit to our clinic, medicine as needed, a nutrition plan with vitamins and supplements, a vaccination program and a voucher for food. An empty stomach cannot learn and absorb knowledge, something that is often taken for granted.

Sponsorship changes the lives of children — and their sponsors

We are trying to bring people together through one-on-one connections. The resulting friendships turn human compassion into real world solutions, giving supporters like you a glimpse into the joy your gifts make possible.

Through the sponsorship you’re beginning today, you’ll see the tangible effects of your generosity in a child’s daily life. You can celebrate his or her progress, and share in a meaningful way in the struggles and triumphs of childhood.

How the program will work
Four times a year your selected child will communicate by email about the progress in her or his school. Our local team will be in charge of translating emails and writing to you what the child wants to share with you. Additionally, we will send you in that email a report from the doctor about the child’s current development and nutrition needs. You can send her or him pictures and share whatever you think will benefit the child to grow as a person and to improve their grades at school.

Communicate and Share

We can also set up a Skype videoconference with your sponsored child each quarter so you can practice your Spanish… and, even better — you can help teach the child English. It is a virtual visit that could become one of the most rewarding experiences in your life. You not only will be the sole program sponsor of this child but also a mentor and role model for a poor, but intelligent and motivated child in Nicaragua.

You will always receive a reply!

Every letter or email will be handled with care, carefully translated, and delivered to your child as soon as possible, up to 4 times per year, and your sponsored child will write back to you.

Testimonial

We had a wonderful "first meeting" with our Ahijado Deyton Jonathan Espinosa via Skype with the help of Manual Urbina.
This is going to work!
Thank you so much for giving us this opportunity Barbara and Dave

VOLUNTEER OVERSEAS: DO YOURSELF SOME GOOD, WHILE DOING GOOD FOR OTHERS

When you volunteer abroad it’s not just the people in need who benefit. Volunteer workers enjoy powerful feelings of purpose and a strong sense of accomplishment. They meet new people and make life-long friends. Volunteer work in Nicaragua offers the opportunity to experience other cultures, learn things not found in books or classrooms and gain a new perspective on the world at large.

Past workers have reported that medical volunteering has been among the best experiences of their lives…

Whether you’re looking for a change of pace (or scenery!) from your current medical/healthcare career or are looking for an exciting way to fulfill your internship responsibilities,  The Roberto Clemente Clinic in Nicaragua presents a great volunteer opportunity in Nicaragua– the chance to combine the thrilling adventure of travel with the benevolent feelings of giving back to those in need in our community in Limon, Nicaragua.

TESTIMONIALS

"Thank you for the opportunity to volunteer and help people living in such awful conditions. I truly enjoyed my time in Nicaragua specially helping pregnant women that came for consultation. Dr. Flores and staff were wonderful."

Barbara  Jordan, physician assistant/ nurse practitioner

Contact Juan Munoz,  at jmunoz @ nicaclinic.org our US-based volunteer manager to find out more about this exciting overseas volunteer program.

VOLUNTEER VACATION?

If discovering a new country through surfing, camping, horseback riding and hiking sounds ideal to you, consider a volunteer vacation to Nicaragua!

Imagine a morning filled with the smiling faces of children eager to learn basic math skills from you, followed by an afternoon of leisure at the beach. What about discovering nature strolling forest trails brimming with monkeys and exotic birds in the morning, then an afternoon of self-discovery as you feel the pride of teaching the essentials of sanitation to people without plumbing in Nicaragua.

Volunteering at the Roberto Clemente Clinic can even give you the unmatchable experience of working side-by-side with our doctors and nurses to save someone’s life or helping to create an entirely new healthcare program for our clinic or for the comunity in Nicaragua.

Even on short notice ( 2 weeks), we can organize a robust, yet balanced schedule of volunteering endeavors in Nicaragua and you get also plan other activities on your own. You can even stay at a resort while on your overseas volunteer program! or you can stay at a very cool small hotel in front of the ocean.

WHAT DO MEDICAL VOLUNTEERS ACTUALLY DO?

In general, medical volunteers or nurser or PA are desperately needed to provide patient care to impoverished children and their parents. Our in-country staff will match your medical skills with our volunteer coordinator team.

Because access to medical services in developing communities is often limited, healthcare volunteers are needed to improve basic services such as diabetes screenings, tooth extractions, wellness checks for babies and pre-natal exams in our local clinic, as well as manning village dispensaries. While the needs and the working conditions are very basic, your ‘hands-on’ contribution will be life-changing. Nonetheless, if you are a professional in other areas or a college or high school student and want to Volunteer Abroad, our Health Clinic is the best option for you.

In exchange for working approximately five hours a day with Dr. Flores and / or the other members of our local team, you’ll have the opportunity to spend time in Limon 1, Rivas running our public health programs, while learning about our  internal procedures, patient care and much more.

And of course, we welcome donations of medical supplies, but there are some restrictions as to the types of medications that can legally be brought into Nicaragua. Please contact us at 410-777-2686 – with any questions.

I DON’T HAVE A MEDICAL BACKGROUND, BUT STILL WANT TO VOLUNTEER ABROAD!

Don’t worry! We can match your individual skill set to a local need. Social workers, students, teachers, lawyers and healthcare social workers have just as much value as physicians, nurses, PA, Physician assistant, EMTs, surgeons, specialty physicians, dental hygienists, pharmacists and dentists who wants to volunteeer in Nicaragua.

The Roberto Clemente Health Clinic serves as a positive agent for change by saving lives, improving health, and fulfilling the promise of medicine for those most in need. We are located in a very remote area in Tola, Nicaragua and see approximately 9,000 patients per year, and your contributions are vital to the continued success of our efforts.  While it may be hard to imagine the impact your financial contribution may have to such a distant community, every donation helps.  Whether it’s $5, $50, $500 or $5,000, please use this form to make your donation.

Donating only takes a minute, but will have a long-lasting effect on the people of Nicaragua.

You can also volunteer abroad with us and enjoy a nice vacation and do some social work in our clinic. Volunteer in Nicaragua is very easy and while medical volunteers and public health volunteers are very much in demand, you do not necessarily need to be in the healthcare sector. There are numerous volunteer opportunities abroad for social workers, students, teachers, lawyers, healthcare social workers, etc. If you are looking for an international volunteer experience and wish to make a positive contribution to humanity, there is no better place to gain volunteer experience than at the Roberto Clemente Health Clinic.

We constantly welcome volunteers who come to practice what they’ve learned in medical schools, doctors and specialists who come to treat patients with special illnesses and many more people who are not medically trained, but just want to help us with our public health care mission.

Take some time out to visit and volunteer in beautiful Nicaragua at our Clinic.  The community of Limon would welcome your help with open arms and warm smiles.  I promise it will be an enjoyable and inspiring experience.

Now please enjoy this video clip from our founder and Chair to the board Julia Guth, who has been working tireless to make this dream a reality.
