Insight Trip to Jordan
Donation protected
With your help, I will be able to travel to the Middle East this Fall to volunteer alongside audiologists in providing necessary hearing healthcare to refugees in camps. The patients we will serve have endured crisis situations, been displaced from their homelands, and suffered severe hearing loss (among other tragedies). They are most often children and have no other opportunity to obtain healthcare on their own.
We will work in clinics in Jordan and the West Bank to evaluate and treat the patients' hearing loss. Once assessed, we will work together to make custom earmolds programmed to new digital hearing aids and will supply this, along with counseling and a supply of batteries, to them.
Through this work, our team can help play a small role in allowing these individuals to succeed in school and employment and to ensure a positive future for them. We’ll be rewarded immensely by witnessing their “hearing smiles.”
Any assistance you can provide would help in covering the personal expense to get to and from this area, necessary lodging, and other travel expenses. I intend to use this assistance responsibly; I recognize my good fortune in being born, living, and working under an umbrella of privilege. I hope to give back to those less fortunate in meaningful ways whenever possible throughout the course of my life-- to offer my services where they can be of assistance. This trip would help me in this personal mission.
Thank you. -RG
