During this month long study abroad located in Puebla, Mexico I had the opportunity to get involved with a hospital called General Del Norte. In this hospital, I grew close to many of the patients and doctors. We helped with things as simple as visiting with patients when they needed someone to talk to, all the way to something more complicated like talking with the doctor about how he should treat someone. This volunteer experience really helped me understand more about how the health care system works in Mexico, and helped me to realize how fortunate I am to have the opportunities that I have. This program made me want to volunteer in places like this more often and made me realize why it is important to give to those in need. This program was a very hands on experience and I would very much so recommend it to others in the future.
