University students are volunteering with Refuge International in a Guatemalan clinic to deworm malnourished children.

Six University students, along with other volunteers, plan to work at a clinic in San Raymundo, Guatemala from Feb. 20 - 28. "Intestinal worms are a big problem," Brittany Wilde said. Wilde is a University nursing student who volunteered for the trip.

Malnourished children are prime targets for intestinal worms. The worms prevent children from receiving nutrients needed to survive. "Hopefully we will help as many people as we can," Wilde said.
