Hello! My name is Amaira Palmer and I am a sophomore majoring in Immunology & Medical Microbiology from Clendenin, West Virginia.
After hearing about the WVU Global Medical & Dental Brigades I
attended an info session on campus. I was inspired by their Holistic Model and
the pure intentions of this group. I knew that Brigades was an opportunity for me
to make a sustainable impact by empowering communities in resource-reduced
regions. Preparing and going on the brigade in Panama expanded my global
perspective, and I developed a greater awareness of the health disparities that
affect rural and indigenous communities. My experience on the brigade was
humbling. Through this opportunity I feel like I have gained a greater sense of
compassion and understanding that can be applied to my daily life. I urge anyone
moved by the mission of Global Brigades to apply. Working with the communities
in Panama is an experience I am genuinely grateful for. I am excited to continue
working with this organization and its incredible members to empower
communities and display how change can happen through collaboration and
respect within those communities.
