Erasmus in Sweden
Hello,
My name is Catarina, and I'm a Pharmacy student from the University of Porto.
Ever since I was younger, I dreamed of studying abroad, but only next year (my final year in college) will I be able to achieve this dream.
I have been given the opportunity to go to Uppsala, Sweden, to do part of my internship as part of the Erasmus+ Program doing scientific research in the field of Pharmacology.
The downside is, in order to go I will have to go on unpaid leave of Absence from my job, which up until now has allowed me to pay my tuition and my monthly fees (food, housing, etc)... Besides those I will have extra expenses do to the fact that the cost of living in Sweden is much more than in Portugal.
I have saved up some money over the years, yet I am still in need of a lot more since I will not have my regular source of income.
So, I am asking you to help me raise 2000€ to allow me to follow my dreams and hopefully in the process contribute to science (even if just a little bit).
Thank you very much!
