I attend the University at Albany. I am majoring in Public Health and minoring in psychology. I am passionate about sustainable agriculture and food and social justice movements. In the future, I hope to work towards promoting health on a global scale.

This May, I would like to travel with a group of students from the University at Albany and Cornell University to Honduras with an organization called Global Medical Brigades. Global Medical Brigades is part of the world’s largest student-led health and sustainable development organization called Global Brigades. Each year Global Brigades mobilizes thousands of university students around the world to participate in 9 different skills-based programs to improve the quality of life in under-resourced communities.

The basic needs of education, health care, and clean water are luxuries for the majority of the people in Honduras, and in the rural communities where we will be working, these luxuries are even harder to find. It is highly common for a family of four to live on less than $2.00 a day with less than 3 gallons of water per day available for use.

If I were to travel on this brigade, I would be working hand-in-hand with doctors and community members. Global Medical Brigades has treated over 10,500 patients in rural, undeserved communities of Honduras that otherwise would have no access to medical care.

I cannot afford to pay for the trip alone. I would really appreciate any donations towards my trip.
