What our travelers have said:

I had the opportunity to attend the first medical clinic with 4North Project. It was an amazing week! Everything from the clinic to the guest house to the pools, rooftop bar, adventures, and resort was truly amazing. The medical clinic was a huge success and ran so smoothly. It really reminded me why I wanted to be a nurse. The strangers I met on this trip turned into friends and everyone was so welcoming. This week was a very nice mix of work, play, and adventure. Thank you Matt for organizing such a trip, I can’t wait for the next one 🙂

This was an awesome trip with the good balance between work and play. I even could have done an extra day of clinic if there was a need in the Bani community. I absolutely loved getting to know other travelers with similar beliefs and drive for social justice and global health inequities. I would definitely recommend this for anyone interested in stepping outside their comfort zones.

This trip was life changing! The people, the adventure, the work… it was all so very worth it!

So many good memories and good friends were made! It was wonderful to serve a truly needy population and see the joy it brought them. Would go again in a heart beat.
