       small group setting which you will be a part of for the month.

Project Management (this is an opportunity to plan for outreaches, organize outreach supplies, meet with your project management team etc.)

Lunch

Depart for outreach 
Arrive at the site and set up for a clinic or door-to-door outreach

Outreach: going door-to-door or helping out in the clinic 
Door-to-door, you’ll have an assigned section of the colonia (neighborhood), and you’ll be in teams of two students with a translator. You’ll offer basic health screenings (blood pressure and sugar checks). During this time you’ll have an opportunity to talk with families, share the Gospel, and pray with them. 
In the clinic, you may fill any number of roles including registration, triage, or medical team. The clinic will be staffed by residents from Valley Baptist. This is a great opportunity to provide more extensive health screenings and also to share the Gospel.

Dinner – boxed dinner on site

Wrap-up on site, pack up the clinic supplies, and head back to home base (VBMEC)

Arrive home

Bed! Get some rest for the next day.

There’s plenty of time for a game of pool volleyball or basketball, a late night run to Dairy Queen, or impromptu musical worship. Every day is different at SMI, but this gives you a general idea of the daily schedule.
