Living in Malawi was a life changing experience. The extreme poverty of the people living there was heartbreaking. However, at the same time people were happier than anyone living in the United States. They were appreciative of everything they had and were so accepting and loving. Malawians have the warmest hearts. Molly K - Ithaca College View Entire Review
About
This course will take place in Malawi, also known as the warm heart of Africa. In this safe and friendly country, students will observe firsthand the effects of poverty on health care.
Students will learn about traditional medicine as well as current medical practices. There will be opportunities to assist feeding babies at local crisis care nurseries, interact with orphans at the feeding centers and meet students at the University of Malawi. The students will visit hospitals and clinics in the northern region of Malawi. There will also be an opportunity to take a safari on a game preserve.
