Come to GUATEMALA with us!
Our next VHI field program to Villa Nueva, Guatemala is scheduled for May 16-24, 2020. Completing the form below is the first step toward participating on a field program with VHI. Once you complete this form, we will contact you to request additional information and discuss details.
VHI field programs offer the experience of a lifetime. We work with people who have little to no access to eye care and are grateful for the high-quality care we provide. We change the lives of our patients, who before seeing us are often unable to live independently or perform daily tasks on their own, have new chances in life after seeing us and receiving cataract surgery or eyeglasses.
During a previous trip to Guatemala, we conducted vision screenings at a local school.
We are specifically looking for the following positions for our Guatemala trip:
Cataract Surgeon
Anesthesiologist
PACU Nurses (2)
Optician
Optometrist
Field Screening Volunteers
Social Media Volunteer
Spanish interpreters (up to 4)
Important! Please enter your first and last name exactly as they appear on your passport. If you are waiting to receive your passport or professional license, please let us know.
The cost for volunteers is $650 for doctors and $450 for all other roles. Volunteers are responsible for their own round trip airfare to and from the main city. VHI provides all essential in-country expenses related to food, lodging, and transportation.
