Overview
 Projects Abroad sends volunteers abroad to 17 countries to do internships and service projects. Since being founded in 1992, we have grown to a team of 130 people around the world that sends 2000 volunteers annually. Volunteers can go at any time, for as long as they wish.
The Burns Unit in the Hospital of Cochabamba treats children from 0 to 15 years-old. Around 200 patients pass through their doors each year. With fifteen beds (three in the intensive care unit) and quite basic medical facilities, you'll find there is a lot you can do to help.
Volunteers are also needed at the Centro de Salud Sarcobamba, a public health clinic open to everyone in Cochabamba, regardless of money. With very basic facilities, the health clinic attends to mostly minor emergencies, accidents and routine visits. There is insufficient funding to maintain the facilities in complete working order, or provide the hospital with sufficient staff or materials. Therefore, volunteers are really needed to help and your work will be greatly appreciated.
