Hello and welcome! As many of you know I am over half way done with my journey through nursing school at Denver School of Nursing, and it has been a great experience so far. To top it off I have recently been selected to participate in a Global Health Perspectives (GHP) internship through Denver School of Nursing. GHP is an organization I've been a part of since the beginning of school, it provides clinical training experiences in challenging national and international environments. GHP encourages us to participate in service learning, while giving to others we are also receiving knowledge and experience in return.
On to the exciting part... where am I going, what will I be doing? Great questions: Our group is heading to Peru! We will be leaving March 21st, 2015. Specifically we'll be spending time in various small river villages surrounding the Napo river in the Peruvian Amazon jungle. While there, our group will be working directly with an organization called DB Peru (You can click the link to learn more). DB Peru has been working in the Peruvian Amazon jungle for 12 years and is there full time. With them we will be educating and providing basic medical services to the local population. More specifically our goal is to empower Peruvian healthcare providers in order to enable these communities to thrive independently long after our departure.
Since they are so far removed from any major cities getting medical care and supplies to them can be difficult and expensive. That's where you come in to save the day. I am so grateful for this chance to contribute my nursing skills to communities in need on a global level, I would be deeply honored if you would partner with me to raise funds to help me get there and support the work of DB Peru.
My goal is to raise $2,000; this will cover flights, housing, medical outreach supplies, equipment and support for DB Peru.
Every dollar helps, I would love to keep you posted as I prepare for, attend, and return from this life changing experience. Please let me know if I can include you in emails about this internship or any questions you might have.
Thank you so much for your thoughts, support and donations.
Christina
