HIV / AIDS Prevention / Care
Are you interested in global public health issues and want to help in a nonclinical setting?
Based on CDC statistics there are almost 40 million people living with HIV around the world. In several rural communities throughout the world, HIV and Aids cases are very common and even devastating to entire populations. In some parts of the world, the infection rates are unbelievable, and thousands of people are infected within a single community. The vast majority of people living with HIV live in sub-Saharan Africa. These children living with HIV deserve treatment and a chance to live a healthy life.
A Broader View partners with several different NGOs and agencies to increase awareness of how to prevent transmission and infection of HIV/AIDS amongst key groups and to try and remove some of the stigma attached to people living with HIV and AIDS. Global health and HIV education are a driving force to combat the spread of this disease. In our programs, we are working in partnership with governments and local organizations in strengthening families, communities and national health systems to end AIDS for good. Prevention and education focus incorporate improving reproductive health, antenatal care, safe delivery, and new-born and child health in a continuum of care..
With your help, you can bring more knowledge and more hope to those who are struggling to cope with this disease for themselves or a loved one.
Some of the tasks you may be asked to perform include:- Improving HIV/AIDS awareness
Providing HIV/AIDS education
Caring for HIV/AIDS patients
Improving attitudes regarding HIV/AIDS infected persons
You will be working in close proximity to HIV/AIDS patients as well as teaching and providing education to those who know others that have HIV/AIDS. This program will allow you to engage directly with a part of the population that is often shunned or is often treated poorly by the rest of the community.
If you’re looking for a way to get involved with medical care but you do not have a medical background you can absolutely make a difference through this program. You’ll be able to interact directly with people who are some of the most vulnerable within the community. You’ll also be able to directly improve their lives and help them to regain relationships with family and others within the community by improving the level of education regarding these specific diseases and how they can be transmitted.
Each of these countries have high levels of patients with HIV/AIDS and can greatly benefit from learning more about what these diseases truly mean and how they can treat their loved ones. If you’re looking for a way to get involved then there are plenty of great ways that you can get involved with this program. All you need to do is decide which of these four countries you would like to visit and where you think you can do the most good. Each of these programs can greatly benefit from your care and your level of compassion and care within the communities themselves and amongst the patients being served.

Paramedical / Rescue
Do you want the opportunity to help in emergency situations in a country where emergency/ambulatory care is minimal at best? If you are an EMT and want an opportunity to use your skills overseas, this program is ideal for you. Ambulatory care is not common in all communities. A Broader View has programs specifically for EMT and paramedics both in ambulance service and in a hospital/clinic emergency room setting.
Paramedics in the United States are definitely amazing individuals but can face a lot of challenges overseas from lack of equipment, different real-life scenarios and diseases you may not be familiar with.
You could be performing tasks such as:
- Performing rescue operations
- Immediate medical attention
- Applying tourniquets
- Providing basic medical care
- Transporting patients to medical facilities
If you are looking for an overseas opportunity to use your paramedic/EMT skills then you will enjoy this program, and you are exactly the type of person we’re looking for. An emergency medical team is something that these countries have likely never seen before outside of this organization and that means you’re going to be a part of something amazing. You’re also going to be the possible reason that their loved one makes it after a medical situ
If you’re interested in volunteering and getting an opportunity that not only gives back but also gives you the real rush of being in the heat of the moment and making quick decisions then this is going to be the place for you. The paramedical and rescue team is going to be a great fit.

Volunteer Cusco Peru Feedback Peter Sengelmann Hospital and kinder Program
My favorite memory of the program was this one time after the weekend the kids hadn’t seen us and we showed up to the elementary and all the kids would run up to us calling our names and hugging us because they too were very attached. Also the same case in the clinic seeing all their facial expressions change and the smiles on their faces the second we would walk into that clinic.
