Trips and Programs
GMT welcomes groups ranging from 15 to 40 students for a period of one to two weeks. Day one is arrival and local tours as time permits. The next morning all participants will take part in a seminar where they will be given a general orientation and begin with the basics in preparation for the clinics.
On day three, we, as a team, will start our first patient clinic day. We provide free prescribed medications, as well as, dental equipment and supplies. We set up clinics in structures e.g. community buildings, schools, or local churches. In regards to the latter, GMT does not hold particular religious affiliations; we embrace all non-violent religions and philosophies. We work with any ethical group that is willing to help fellow needy humans.
After two or three clinic days, all participants will enjoy a recreation day. We will visit volcanoes, waterfalls, tropical forests & beaches, museums, markets, colonial cities, and other local attractions.
