Passionate About:

As a first generation college student, I am passionate about equal opportunities all across the world. I have been blessed with the opportunity to be the first in my family to attend a four-year university, and by doing so, have paved the way for generations to come. I have always been fond of helping those in need whether its giving a few dollars to a homeless person, tutoring a friend or donating blood, I believe that “true happiness comes from giving others their own”.

Coming from an underprivileged background, I am well aware of the challenges associated with pursuing your dreams. Someday, I will live out my life goals of helping disadvantaged individuals by means of offering affordable medical attention, inspiring young men and women to fight for their dreams, even if the odds are stacked against you, and by using my education to leave the world a better place then it is today.

About Us

Volunteers Around the World (VAW) is a humanitarian organization and social enterprise devoted to improving the standard of living for those that live in some of the most poverty stricken communities of the world. Our focus is to provide communities with access to medical treatment, medication, nutritional security, clean water, and health education.

The VAW Hospital Internship gives students who are serious about a future in medicine the opportunity to work at one of the largest and most important trauma hospitals in the Dominican Republic. Students will interact with patients, take theoretical classes, and shadow physicians and residents.
