Introduction

Hello Readers!


We are International Medical Outreach at The University of Central Florida. and we've been visiting developing countries since 2006. In these 4 years, we've traveled to Honduras, Costa Rica, Peru, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, and Haiti. We spend our time there donating our time and money to those in need through giving medical supplies, clothing, food, vitamins, and health education. Members are also given an opportunity to shadow doctors in clinics and hospitals.

Starting in 2009, we adopted Haiti as our project country, as it is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. Also, the earthquake has left Haiti needing help more than ever. Because of this a percentage of all the money we fundraise for each year goes straight to Haiti. In addition, we will be visiting Haiti at least once every year.

Due to traveling expenses, we spend a lot of our time fundraising to pay for our trips. A large portion of that comes from donations. We have also organized 5K races, soccer tournaments, and entertainment events such as International Rock Night or Salsa Night. As the years continue, we've grown more as an organizations, our financial goals have grown as well. We are currents working on becoming a non-profit organization. If you'd like to learn more about us please visit our website at www.imoucf.com.

The purpose of this blog is to give the trip-goer's a voice in sharing their experiences with others. You will be reading stories by many different members. We hope that you will find this inspiring because this organization has impacted so many people. IMO will forever be in our hearts. We want to share this great feeling with you.
