"Traveling to Guatemala was simply the most life-changing experience of my life. I have never felt so inspired.  To be honest, I had apprehension about traveling to an unfamiliar country. My concern disappeared the first time I met the leaders and other student volunteers. I cannot say enough about the warmth and dedication of the people who I volunteered with. I had such an awesome time serving the communities of Poptun, Guatemala, and I feel very fortunate that I could be part of the team that makes a difference".
 - Annie Kung (UC Riverside, 2015)




"Volunteering in Guatemala was a life changing experience for me. I didn’t think I could grow so attached to so many individuals in such a sort period of time, but volunteering for just a week in Guatemala has left me with new strong friendships and a new appreciation for life. The clinic days at Guatemala were by far my favorite. Aside from working with numerous wonderful professionals and volunteers, I had a chance to make a difference, even if it may be a small one, in another’s life. "
- Tiffany B (UC Davis, 2015)

"This trip to Guatemala was the best decision I ever made. Not only did I make new friends and learned about health care and treating patients, I also got to challenge myself in many ways, such as having to learn adequate Spanish in one day to take patients' histories. The memories I made and all the experiences from this trip are going to stay with me for a long time coming." 
- M.T. (UCLA, 2015)





"I didn't really know what to expect going to Guatemala medical missions as it was my first medical trip ever. I wasn't even really interested in pursuing the medical field. However, after interacting with passionate students, practitioners, and the patients, I became more interested in medicine. I discovered a new part of myself.” 
- Huyn Kim (UC Davis, 2015)

"I was really lucky to stumble across iHelp Globally. The programs in both Peru and Guatemala were so much fun and taught me a lot. The experiences were eye opening and really showed me what everyday experiences we take for granted each and every day! Not to mention the clinics where we get hands on experience with patients and a variety of illnesses. IHG is an amazing program and I hope to be back soon!"
- Neil Patel (UCLA, 2014)

"I was truly blessed and received a lot of love and supervision throughout the medical trip in Guatemala. I was happy to help provide medical treatments to those in need. Thanks to IHelp Globally, the medical mission to Guatemala gave me a strength in pursuing a higher degree so that one day I can serve a lot of patients worldwide. Now I am really passionate to be working in a medical field. I hope that I will be able to participate in future trips especially with more diverse medication." 
- Tracey Lee (UCD, 2015)

"Traveling to Peru was an experience that will always be in my heart and mind. Through making lasting friendships, practicing medical applications in underserved populations, and experiencing a new culture, I am so grateful that I had the opportunity to take part in such an amazing program. My favorite part about the trip was having the chance to see the smiles on the faces of the people we offered our help and support to. I would be so fortunate to travel with IHG...in the future." ~ (K. J., UCD 2013)

"My experience with iHelp Globally was truly one to remember. Of course, being 19 years old, traveling to another country not knowing a single other person on the trip definitely made me feel anxious; however, the second I was picked up from the airport, I was greeted by two amazing people. Their warm smiles and friendliness were only a small peek at what was to come through the week. 

It seemed as though as soon as I set foot in Peru, I was welcomed everywhere with open arms... whether it was my fellow peers, or the nurses and doctors on the trip with us. When clinic day came, even the patients were so appreciative. There's no greater feeling than smiling at the patient as they look into your eyes with hope...hope that you will be their hero and help them live a longer life...and that's what being a doctor is all about," (K.S., De Anza College, 2013).

“I signed up to go to Peru with the hopes to give back to the underserved, but to my surprise, received so much more in return. The hospitality, the friendships, and the warm smiles of everyone I met on my trip refreshed my faith in humanity. I did not think that eight days would make as great of an impact on my life as it did. I feel very blessed and grateful to have gone abroad for my first medical mission with IHG and V4P. The people of Lima will forever hold a special place in my heart.” ~ (F.F., UCD, 2013)

"Applying for iHelp Globally was one of the most spontaneous things I have ever done; however, it also turned out to be one of the most fulfilling experiences of my life. The night I arrived and met my peers, I immediately felt excited to work alongside them. Everyone exuded so much enthusiasm and passion to help, that it fueled me to work harder than I ever had before. Admittedly I was scared at first due my lack of ability to speak Spanish, but the warm smiles of the adults and the joking demeanor of the kids as they shouted “Chinito”, or Chinese boy, at me, reassured me that they were grateful for any and all help they could receive from us. Seeing how appreciative some of the kids were when they had such little possessions truly taught me not to take things for granted in my life. This medical mission trip was one of the most surreal experiences of my life and for that, I am sincerely grateful." ~ (Derek Lin, UCD, 2013)

"The trip I took to Peru with iHelp Globally was the best experience of my life. Every experience on the trip was both a memorable life experience and a useful educational one. Everyone on the trip ranging from the students to the providers to the group leaders were so friendly and helpful and I had so much fun talking and spending time with all of them. I would not hesitate to sign up for this trip again!" (V.C., UCD, 2013)

"There is simply only one word in the English dictionary that can describe my experience in Peru: Humbling. It was an honor to touch the lives of so many underserved communities Whether it be taking their vitals or simply asking how their day was, I felt a sense of appreciation, warmth, and gratefulness from all of the people in Lima, Peru. These eight days that I spent in Peru were filled with unforgettable memories, unbreakable friendships, and lastly, fun. I would personally like to thank the iHelp Globally Team for their hospitality and wisdom throughout these eight days. Without iHelp Globally, I would have not been able to experience such a life changing mission with the greatest possible team assembled. Again, I feel blessed to have been able to provide medical care to the Peruvian community. This eight day journey has definitely opened up my eyes to the world around me, and has driven me even harder to reach my goal as a future physician." ~ (Kenny Nguyen, UCD 2013)

"I never thought I would go to Peru. And yet it has been the number one experience to convince me of why I want to go into the medical field. The people touched my heart and made me realize how happy I am serving these communities, how happy I am taking a blood pressure, checking children's temperatures, guiding patients and their children through the clinic, learning about the doctors' diagnosis and prescription, and how happy I can help others to be. I cannot imagine not continuing to serve in other countries or underserved communities," (J.K., UCD, 2013).
