MEDLIFE Service Learning Trip to Peru

Dear Friends and Supporters,

I am excited to share that I have been given the opportunity to participate in a Service Learning Trip with the MEDLIFE club at Oakland University to Lima, Peru, in July 2025. As a pre physician assistant student, this experience will allow me to contribute to meaningful healthcare initiatives and gain invaluable insights into global health challenges.

About MEDLIFE:

MEDLIFE (Medicine, Education, and Development for Low-Income Families Everywhere) is a non-profit organization dedicated to partnering with low-income communities in Latin America and Africa to improve access to medicine, education, and community development. They operate Mobile Clinics that bring free, high-quality healthcare directly to communities lacking basic health services, staffed by local practitioners who provide culturally sensitive care.

Impact in Latin America:

MEDLIFE’s efforts in Latin America have led to significant improvements in healthcare accessibility and community development. By organizing Mobile Clinics and development projects, they address immediate health concerns and work towards sustainable solutions for issues facing communities living in poverty.

Personal Significance:

Participating in this trip is a pivotal step in my journey as a pre physician assistant student. It offers hands-on experience in healthcare, allowing me to work closely with medical professionals in Mobile Clinics, assist in diagnosing and treating patients, and understand the healthcare challenges faced by underserved populations. This exposure is invaluable for my medical education and future career, providing practical skills and a deeper understanding of global health disparities.

How You Can Help:

To make this trip possible, I am seeking donations to help cover expenses such as travel, accommodation and medical supplies. Your support will not only help me gain this transformative experience but also contribute to the vital services MEDLIFE provides to communities in need.

Support My Journey:

Every contribution, no matter the size, brings me closer to making a tangible impact in Lima and advancing my aspirations in the medical field.

Thank you for your generosity and support.
