Peru : 2012: February 2011

Changing the face of Peruvian Healthcare

Peru is a third world country, and although it has a medical system in place, Peru lacks the knowledge and resources to function at it's full potential. 40% of the country lives in poverty and it is the upper class who really gets the limited care that the government can offer.

In May 2012, I will be travelling to Peru to help establish medical centres, help doctors with their common practices, help people learn basic first aid (so to an extent they can take care of themselves) and help out with a UN-initiated campaign to spread awareness about HIV/AIDS. I'll be down in Peru for about a month. I'm going through a well-known organization called Nexos Voluntarios (www.nexosvoluntarios.org). In total, my trip will be about $5000. ...And here's where the fundraising comes in.

Irreplaceable.

And the surveys have been completed! Two testing days and 32 people later, I have a box full of completed surveys. The surveys will be shipped back to ETS Canada in the next few days.

I want to give a big thank you to everyone who helped me and completed a survey! I know all you arts kids hate me now, but I want you to know that I really appreciate all your help and even if you hate me, I will love you forever.

More updates to come.
