Year-round - Bolivia
Our hospital in Bolivia is currently the primary site where we send volunteers, both medical and non-medical. Over its 10-year history, Hospitals of Hope has sent over 1700 volunteers to Bolivia, who assist the Bolivian staff in caring for patients, as well as doing construction and community outreach.
Volunteers in Bolivia stay in our guesthouse, located just behind our hospital. We can accommodate groups or individuals, and we take volunteers year-round.
Learn more about this opportunity by exploring the other pages in the Volunteer Resources section or by checking out our Bolivia pages.
July / August 2010- First Responder Training in Bolivia
During the summer of 2010, we will again be working with Heart to Heart International to implement First Responder training for the Bolivian National Police. In the Department of Cochabamba there were over 3003 accidents, resulting in 100 fatalities, during 2008. Bolivian National Police are the first public servants to arrive at accident scenes. Because of this, it is crucial that the police be properly trained to deal with the situations they encounter.
This First Responder training has the potential to save the lives of hundreds of accident victims who would otherwise not receive appropriate care until it was too late.
