Kristen's Africa PT Mission Trip

Donation protected
I'm Kristen Connolly, a Doctor of Physical Therapy working in pediatrics and orthopedics. It's been my dream to travel to a less fortunate country to provide medical services, and my dream is coming true. This April, I will travel with EDUTOURS to Tanzania, Africa.

Here, I will join with a group of students from Northwestern University and Physical Therapists to provide Physical Therapy services to children and families in the following facilities:

Neema House: care center for abandoned, orphaned, and at risk babies from two weeks to two years old
(http://www.neemavillage.org/Neema_House_Arusha.html)

The Plaster House: high love, low cost surgical rehabilitation for disabled children in Tanzania to recover after corrective orthopedic surgery, plastic surgery, or neurosurgery 
(http://www.theplasterhouse.org/)

Maasai Womens Development Organization (MWEDO): a not-governmental women-led organization to empower women

Why do I need YOU?
As this is a volunteer mission, all travel and expenses are my responsibility.  In order to help these families and children, I would appreciate your donation of any amount to this mission.  Your support is recognized with sincere gratitude as I follow my passion abroad.

"With one kind gesture you can change a life. One person at a time you can change the world. One day at a time we can change everything." -Dr. Steve Maraboli

Thank you, thank you, thank you!
