As I said before, I'll be going on a trip with the Foundation for the International Medical Relief of Children (FIMRC) . I have to raise $1149 to support the project site in Costa Rica, housing, food, and transportation. I will be staying with a Costa Rican family during my time there and I am very excited! Next semester I will be taking Spanish 2002, which is the second part of intermediate Spanish at my university (Georgia Tech)..so it'll be great exercising my skills there! According to FIMRC's website, I could be participating in so many different activities such an dental hygiene education with children (I hope I can do this!) to shadowing a physician in the examination room or even a construction project to the clinic itself. I won't know what I'm doing until closer to the date..but I will definitely post about it once I do!
Anyway, if you would like to donate to help fund my trip it would be greatly appreciated! If you would like to, I can send you an address that you can send a check to (again, it is $1149), but please e-mail me for the address!. Any donation would be so helpful and I would be so thankful! Your money would go to funding a clinic focused on children's healthcare where it may be spotty and unreliable and supporting the homestay family so they can host volunteers in their home.
My e-mail is mmoreno3@gatech.edu.
Thanks for reading! Updates soon, promise.
