Happy Holidays Friends and Family!!!
In March 2015, I have the amazing opportunity to go to Jacmel, Haiti and be part of the Global Health Perspectives internship through Denver School of Nursing. This service learning internship will allow me to work with LOVE Takes Root, La Concord Orphanage and the new medical clinic to further my nursing school education.
The organization LOVE Takes Root was started by two North American Doctors. They have been working in Haiti since the earthquake in 2010 and made amazing advances, most recently a new orphanage and medical clinic in Jacmel. My school has partnered with them for several years and trips, and I am so lucky to be part of the 10th excursion to make a difference!
The focus of our trip will be helping the 50 orphans relocate to their new location and provide the needed care to the local community. We will scrub in and assist with surgical needs as well as doing all that we can to help during our stay. Our main goal is to empower the local Haitian health care providers to enable the continuity of this care once our trip has ended.
I am so excited and lucky to be able to have such a once in a lifetime experience to apply my nursing school education on a global level. I will be able to help make a difference in this rural area while learning to provide care through a language barrier. This experience will surely aid me in my nursing career in which I hope to work in inner-city hospitals, where English may not be the first language of many patients.
I would be deeply honored if you would partner with me to raise funds for my trip. All money raised will go to medical outreach supplies and equipment, the flight and housing while in Haiti. With no money going towards any salaries or administrative costs, every dollar truly counts towards the trip and making a difference in Haiti.
I will keep you posted as this trip gets closer, and I get even more excited! Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your time!
