This coming December I will be embarking on a trip to Honduras with fellow class mates, physicians and other volunteers to provide medical and dental care to the underserved population in this area. Honduras is one of the poorest countries in the western hemisphere and things that we take for granted such as clean water, health care, and education are luxuries that many people in Honduras do not have access to.
Many trips are organized to help underserved populations around the world, but what is unique about the program we are participating with is that the focus is on sustainable healthcare and education. Everyone knows the phrase if you give a man a fish you feed him for a night, if you teach a man to fish you feed him for a lifetime. This is why I am helping to lead the education portion of our trip. We will be using our resources to teach the men, women, and children about proper hygiene, self-exams, and other simple techniques so they can maintain their health well after we leave the area.
As many of you know, I am very passionate about supporting underserved communities. Please join me by making a small donation to help me raise money for the trip so we can provide the underserved communities of Honduras medical care, dental care, and educational resources that they desperately need. Any donation is much appreciated and will be put to good use. Thank you so much for your support.
