Learnt lots!
by: Henry Butehorn - United StatesProgram: Medical Volunteers Needed—Work in Peru!Only had one week off of University and decided to take a leap of faith and travel to Peru. Beyond glad that I did. Maximo helped me feel safe, immersed, and important. My second time with Maximo Nivel, and hopefully not my last.
Amazing medical volunteer
by: Edgar Morales - MexicoProgram: Medical Volunteers Needed—Work in Peru!I am a third year medical student, and I was looking for an experience where I could really earn some on-hand experience. Fortunately, this experience is what I was looking for. The amount of knowledge that I earned is incredible. Together with the kindness of the people working at the clinic, it makes the experience a thing you will never forget.
Enriching experience -- perfect people and project!

The project placement and staff at the placement were so sweet -- it really allowed me to understand the local culture. My living accommodations were lovely, really made me feel welcomed.

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!
