Overseas Internship Work With Children in Uganda

The greatest cause of prevalence abandoned children on the streets in Uganda is poverty. As the HIV/AIDS pandemic takes its toll many kids have been left without parents to take care of them. Such neglected kids have often been taken by other families or by charitable persons and groups and put up in orphanages. Orphanage operators are often in great need of labor support to supplement their efforts.

International interns at orphanages often teach the schools at the orphanage or in nearby public schools that orphanage children attend; assist in preparing meals for the kids; doing the dishes and doing the many chores that running such a place entails. In the evening, when the kids are back from school, overseas interns with Uganda orphanages play with the children and assist them with their school assignments.

Uganda Healthcare Internship Service Abroad

Our Uganda health care internships are open to healthcare (medical, dental, nursing, dental hygiene) program students as well as pre-program majors. A student ID is required at the start of the internship. All prospective medical interns also need to submit a resume showing their preparedness for the internship including any relevant college courses taken, and what they hope to achieve from the medical internship placement in Africa. Students should apply for the medical/healthcare internships, not the medical volunteer program which is for licensed proffesionals.

As an overseas medical internship (medical students, nursing students or intern), you will shadow and work with local staff in support of the health care efforts. You can also work as a dental or medical assistant intern at one of the local hospitals. Generally you will assist/support the doctor/dentists or clinician in the normal routine of medical work e.g. taking vital signs, dressing wounds, taking patients history, counseling patients, providing assurance and moral support to patients' family, disbursing minor medicines, etc.

You will find the Uganda dental and medical internship abroad opportunity enlightening and rewarding.

In subsequent weeks, HIV and AIDS interns in Uganda accompany local staff in their routine activities. Those doing internship work abroad with this HIV program will participate in offering clinics for patients, families and people wanting to test for HIV and AIDS. Overseas interns will also participate in home visit with the patients and families to provide treatment, food, and care and sometimes help with home chores.

International interns will be involved in teaching about Sexually Transmitted Diseases including HIV and AIDS, and teaching about sexuality, to youths and parents. International interns with HIV and AIDS program in Uganda should also be prepared to visit with and providing support to orphans of HIV and AIDS,
