Vivé Peru:Clinical Health Volunteer

Donation protected
Hello Everyone! 
       This summer, I will be joining a select group of university students from across the country to reach out to underdeveloped communities in Peru as a participant in the Clinical Medicine volunteer program. As a volunteer,  I will be working in a hospital taking vitals, observing surgeries, and creating and implementing a health and safety campaign across rural and impoverished areas in Trujillo, Peru. The VivePerú program will give me an incredible opportunity to be exposed to a new culture, as well as gaining tremendous clinical experience.
        Throughout these two months, I will be able to improve the quality of life for Peruvian children and families, and I cannot emphasize enough the joy this brings to me. It truly fills my heart to know that I will be of service to people who have not had the opportunity to live a healthy life nor guarantee as much to their children. In my mind, service to others is the purest form of love, and I wish to give as much love as I can to every person I meet in Peru.  Like Ghandi said, "The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others." 
         In addition to the amazing volunteerism I will be able to provide, I  will also be able to travel to my own accord on the weekends! This includes trips to the famous ruins of Chan Chan and Chiclayo, the beautiful waterfall of Chachapoyas, and...wait for it... Machu Picchu!!!!!!!  I unfortunately have never really had the means to do a lot of traveling in my lifetime, so being able to see the world is a true blessing and I honestly cannot contain my excitement! 
         I already know that this will be one of the most monumental times of my life, but I unfortunately do not have the financial means to reach this dream on my own- that's where you come in!  :) On my own, I have saved $1700 dollars and put it all towards my trip to Peru this summer. Sadly, this has only been enough to cover my airfare, passport, and trip-deposit. My goal is to raise at least 3,000 to cover necessary fees such as program-cost, required vaccinations, and extra trip excursions.  This gofundme account has made it easy for you to donate any amount that you are able, and all the proceeds go directly to me and my trip! I appreciate you taking the time to understand more about my trip and possibly supporting my journey this summer to Peru! If you have any questions please call me (602-317-5582) or my mother, Tammy, at (602-501-9155). 
From the bottom of my heart, thank you.  

Saludos!
Danielle :)
