Sandy Van Every, a student in the Physician Assistant Studies Program, has been to Africa three times and is heading to Nicaragua in December to help on a medical mission team. He said hundreds of people walk miles for treatment. The medical team provides vision, dental and medical care, oftentimes without electricity.
Some of his experiences included pulling teeth, testing children in orphanages for HIV, hunting on a safari in South Africa to provide meat for the people and helping the people get glasses. “They’re really appreciative,” Sandy said. “They have nothing.”
