If you¹re inspired to do something for humanity, come join the Rainforest
Health Project on an unforgettable adventure into the heart of the Amazon
jungle. RHP needs medical volunteers doctors, nurses, dentists and
non-medical volunteers to help treat Indian villagers in north-eastern
Peru.
Working in bamboo hut clinics, you can help ensure that hundreds of
indigenous people many of whom have no other access to health care
continue to receive desperately needed medical attention.
Expeditions are two weeks long and depart four times a year from Miami,
Florida. Only the serious need apply, as each volunteer must pay his or her
own travel expenses, or find a sponsor. Currently, trip expenses run $2,395
not including airfare from your home city to Iquitos, Peru. Also, there is
a $100 tax in Peru. There is information on the web site about raising
funds to finance your trip.
RHP is a registered non-profit organization based in Minnesota. It has been
taking teams to the Peruvian Amazon since 1993. Can¹t make a trip but still
want to help? RHP also urgently needs drugs, medical equipment, and, of
course, that elusive thing called cash! All donations are tax-deductible.
Our web site has articles, slide shows, and lots of information that will
help you see what a trip is like. Please check out the web site at:
