Albergue St. Gabriel
There is one (1) placement available at Albergue St. Gabriel for a FrancisCorps Volunteer. The volunteer must have a high level of proficiency in the Spanish language to work in Costa Rica.
Albergue San Gabriel is an outpatient clinic that offers palliative care to children with a limited quality of life due to chronic, progressive, non curable illnesses. Rather than coming just for a doctor's appointment, patients come with their families to spend the entire day at the Albergue. Throughout the day, the medical staff (consisting of a doctor, nurse, psychologist, nutritionist, and physical therapist) is available to meet with the patient, parents, and/or siblings as needed. The volunteer team is responsible for organizing activities each day for the patients, for the siblings, and for the mothers. The goal is that while at the Albergue, the patients and their families might have just one day to relax, have fun, and forget about the worries associated with their medical condition.
