Last summer I traveled to Belize to work as medical volunteer with the organization International Service Learning. Along with 12 other volunteers and 2 doctors, we set up 3 temporary medical clinics near the western border of the country. At each clinic, we were able to see as many as 100 people with ailments ranging from machete wounds to diabetes. Within our clinic we had a make-shift pharmacy consisting of the medical supplies the volunteers brought from the United States. The pharmacy soon ran out of basic necessities the people needed, such as pre-natal vitamins and worm medication.

HealthCare Volunteer was started in January 1, 2006 by an American medical student and an American dental student, who realized the need for a free 501 (c) (3) non-profit portal that connects all volunteers and job seekers interested in health related volunteering or work to the right volunteering or employment opportunity. The need for global health care has skyrocketed. HealthCare Volunteer was accessed by thousands of volunteers and job seekers from more than 118 countries in 2006.

The leading cancer in women is breast cancer, with 1.2 million diagnosed globally and killing 500,000 each year. Overall, 1 in 3 people will develop cancer in their lifetime, and 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer – affecting almost everyone via a parent, sibling, child, other relative, or a friend.
