If you�re inspired to do something for humanity, come join the Rainforest Health Project on an unforgettable adventure into the heart of the Amazon jungle. RHP needs medical volunteers � doctors, nurses, dentists � and non-medical volunteers to help treat Indian villagers in north-eastern Peru. Working in bamboo hut clinics, you can help ensure that hundreds of indigenous people � many of whom have no other access to health care � continue to receive desperately needed medical attention. Expeditions are two weeks long and depart four times a year from Miami, Florida. Only the serious need apply, as each volunteer must pay his or her own travel expenses, or find a sponsor. Currently, trip expenses run $2,395 not including airfare from your home city to Iquitos, Peru. Also, there is a $100 tax in Peru. There is information on the web site about raising funds to finance your trip. RHP is a registered non-profit organization based in Minnesota. It has been taking teams to the Peruvian Amazon since 1993. Can�t make a trip but still want to help? RHP also urgently needs drugs, medical equipment, and, of course, that elusive thing called cash! All donations are tax-deductible. Our web site has articles, slide shows, and lots of information that will help you see what a trip is like. Please check out the web site at: http://www.pobox.com/~rhp/
