Currently studying abroad in Spain, Voluntario Global Ambassador Lexi Clifford discusses how her time in the Health Center will impact her career path. 

 

 

How was your experience of coming home after your time at Voluntario Global?

Coming home was a very interesting experience. It was incredible to get to see my family, especially my Argentine relatives and talk to them about everything that I had seen and experienced. I was home for a very short amount of time but it allowed me to reflect on my life and what I am fortunate enough to have.

 

How do you think your experience at Voluntario Global has been useful in your work or studies since leaving Buenos Aires?

I think this project taught me a lot of valuable life skills which have helped me for the past few months. It has taught me how to be a more patient, thoughtful and grateful person. I know this will continue to have a large impact on my life and eventual career path as I continue to study global health and medicine.

 

Who would you recommend your project to?

I would recommend my project to people interested in public health and students passionate about studying health care.

A School Two Blocks Down

  • BYS Academy: The Background

Silvia has the essence of everyone's favorite aunt, greeting you with the hug of a lifelong friend. She is the owner of BYS Academy, an English school she founded in 2005 to create an affordable educational opportunity for the students of her neighborhood, two blocks from Estancia Ing. Pablo Nogués, right behind the small shopping center. Her laughter is the last thing that would tell you how close she came to losing all of it through an economic crisis and without government funding.

Now the school functions as a cooperative in tandem with Voluntario Global. Graduated students return as volunteer teachers to gain work experience for formal jobs. Their work is supplemented by volunteers from Voluntario Global, and this is where Victor and I enter.

Halfway through my internship and teaching experience, I’ve been given more than I thought possible. I’ve been given complexity, understanding and hope in so many different capacities from others and all of it happened through Voluntario Global.

Pensar el voluntariado como una experiencia colectiva
