These students are from across the nation completing both their Bachelor's and Masters' in community and global health, dietetics, advertising, international relations, business, sociology, social work, and engineering, to name a few.

Of course, this is also an excellent opportunity for the augmentation of cross-cultural understanding.

With my undergraduate degree in Public Health, a CHES Certified professional, and Masters Candidate, I am keen on recruiting student participants from our discipline in order to diversify our team. Several positions are open for our team in India, and they can be found at Idealist.org by searching for "HELP International" and India.

India is just one of the countries in which HELP International operates. Volunteer opportunities and some internship opportunities are also available in Uganda, Peru, Nicaragua, Belize, Tanzania, Fiji, and Thailand.
