LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR THE SLT!! As an SLT participant in Antigua, Guatemala, you are joining a worldwide movement!

Itinerary in brief:
Day 1: Arrive at La Aurora International Airport (GUA) from 9:00 am-2:00 pm. After some rest and settling in, you’re free to explore.
Day 2: Your Trip Leader will guide a walking tour of Antigua, offering insights into local life. In the evening, we’ll hold an orientation, distribute PPE, discuss the week’s agenda, safety measures, and introduce Mobile
Clinics.
Day 3: During a MEDLIFE Reality Tour, volunteers team up with our staff to understand the daily challenges of our partner communities.
Days 4-6: You’ll support Mobile Clinics in various communities around Antigua, with each day focusing on a different location. Rise at 6am for breakfast and depart by 7am for the community, with bus rides varying between 30 minutes to 1 hour. Once there, unload medical supplies, and meet the day’s health professionals. After a quick training, the clinic starts between 8-9 am. You’ll assist in the triage station, provide educational materials in the education station, shadow physicians in the general medicine, OB/GYB, and dental stations, and help at the pharmacy station. You will also have the opportunity to interact with the children in the toothbrushing station. Lunch is around 11:30am on the bus. Post-lunch, you’ll switch stations, with the clinic wrapping up between 1-3pm, serving potentially 50+ patients. Evenings include post-clinic activities at 5pm and dinner at 6pm. Some evenings offer free time to explore Antigua.
Day 7: Today, you’ll work alongside locals on a project centered around installing fuel-efficient stoves. Departing the hostel at 8:00am, ensure you wear attire suitable for hands-on tasks, such as mixing cement or painting. Once we finish, we’ll join the community in an inauguration to celebrate our joint achievements. Expect to return to the hostel between 2:30pm-4:00pm for a debrief and reflection session with the MEDLIFE team to conclude the week.
Day 8: Join us for an optional day trip to delve deeper into Guatemala’s wonders.
Day 9: Depart Guatemala anytime between 12:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
