This all started with a good friend of mine, Vivian, who introduced me to the Support for International Change program:
We've been through dance competitions, endless rehearsals, long drives; we've shared the same journeys through organic chemistry classes, MCATs, the decisions to pursue medicine; and now we embark on this adventure together. She keeps me calm and excited all at once and I know I can depend on her for anything.
On our trip we will be volunteering for:
I'm extremely excited to have the opportunity to live with a host family and have the opportunity to reach out and help small rural communities that are heavily affected by HIV/AIDS.
This trip is also made possible due to the kind people at:
Who have generously supported me in my preparations to make this trip a financially feasible part of my life.
Finally, I want to thank Jonjon, my family, ETPers, Main Stacks, and everyone else who has supported this trip. I feel prepared to embark on the experience of a lifetime and I cannot wait to come back and share it with you all. But for now, hopefully this blog can tell (and show) you part of my experience in Africa.
