cool! where did your sister go, if i may ask?

I had an experience through IVHQ that was shady. Myself and another nurse were placed in a clinic and we were basically in the way the entire time. Since I went on the trip (and spent a lot of money) to be helpful, I was very disappointed and left early to travel the country.

I know this is an old thread, but Hope of Life Intl in Guatemala does medical missions to remote indigenous villages.

Their mission and info can be found here : hopeoflifeintl.org

I am currently living and serving there, and you can see more of what I do at our blog :

Be blessed in your travels 💛

This is why my policy is to never pay for "medical missions". Those organizations are doing more harm than good. Stick with legit places like MSF, Red Cross, Mercy Ships. They have strict criteria for a reason.
