[Youthsurvival-network] Spring/Summer International Health Opportunities

[Jennifer Staple <Jennifer.Staple@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear all,

These international health volunteer opportunities will likely be of
interest to many people on this e-mail list.  Unite For Sight volunteers
prescribe eyeglasses, screen for eye disease and coordinate and fund
diagnosis, treatment, and surgery by doctors.  Volunteers also implement
Train the Trainer programs for teachers and educate children and adults
about eye health and ways to prevent blindness.

All persons over the age of 18 are welcome to apply for these volunteer
opportunities, including prehealth students, medical students, public
health professionals, ophthalmologists, optometrists, physicians,
corporate professionals, nurses, graduate students, retired
professionals, and any others with an interest in international service.

If you are interested in the volunteer opportunities listed below,
