Hello!

We're Doctorate of Physical Therapy Students at UCSF/SFSU traveling to Malawi, Africa for an educational outreach project this winter! Malawi is an amazing community with a critical shortage of physical therapists. Our team of 3 DPT students will be led by our professor Dr. Casey Nesbit, who has been traveling to Malawi for the past 14 years, providing physical therapy services for the 200,000 people in the area. During our time in Malawi, we'll be leading a rehabilitation training program for home-based palliative care community health workers, focusing on critical skills, goal writing, case management, and leadership development. We will also be providing physical therapy services at St. Gabriel's Hospital, their inpatient rehab unit as well as patients in the surrounding area who are home-bound.

This trip is not funded by UCSF/SFSU, so we need your help to make it happen!

Cost breakdown for each student:
-Airfare = $2000
-Housing = $30
-Food = $100
-Ground transportation = $100
-Student fee to the Medical Council of Malawi = $140

Total cost = $2370 x 3 students = $7110

Travel dates: December 12, 2019 - December 31, 2020

Any contribution is greatly appreciated!
