Once in a lifetime!

Hello, my name is Elspeth, but I go by Elle.

I have been studying Forensic science for the last four years, and I am now a master's candidate in forensic anthropology! Since my first forensic lecture, becoming an anthropologist has been my dream, and I am slowly making my way towards that goal!

 

An opportunity has been presented to allow me to spend three weeks working on the remains of plague victims in Italy that have no name and no identity. It would be a once in a lifetime opportunity for me to volunteer in the field of my passion and work towards giving an identity and a story back to these individuals. This opportunity will not only allow me to help these victims regain even just apart of their identity, but will also help me prove my worth to the forensic community as a disabled scientist.

This field-school opportunity is being run through the University of Western Australia's center of Forensic Anthropology and will be credited towards my masters degree.

 

I am a student and cannot afford such an opportunity on my own, it is for this reason the I am asking friends and family for support, the smallest amount makes a difference and I would be forever be in your debt.

 

Please help me with this once in a lifetime education and volunteer experience!
