My Travel Story

by: Danielle Ralleca Start Date: Aug 6, 2015 - End Date: Nov 4, 2015
Hello friends and family! Starting December 21st I am planning to volunteer abroad in Kampala, Uganda with the International Volunteer HQ for three weeks.  I will be volunteering in one of their projects for HIV/AIDS support. Within this project I will assist on empowerment programs that will provide counseling to patients, hygiene education and nutrition programs. In addition to this, I will have the opportunity to work with health workers in the local villages to carry out community outreach programs.

I am now a third year undergraduate student at San Diego State University majoring in Public Health. Volunteering in Uganda is the perfect opportunity for me because I will have hands on experience working in the healthcare field in a developing country. In the future I would love to create a non-profit organization that will help improve the health of those living in developing countries, so this is a great way to get started! Another plus to this opportunity is that I will get to learn and be a part of a culture that I have never experienced before.

I hope to embark on this journey to Uganda to help in HIV/AIDS support and experience a new vibrant culture. But in order for me to start this journey I would kindly like to ask you for any amount of money donations.  The donations made will be going to my airfare and program fee. The program fee includes my living accommodation, meals, orientation, airport pick up, 24/7 support from the agency and in-country administration costs. The goal is to raise $3000 by this November!  Thank you so much for your generosity and I will keep all of you updated on my journey to Uganda!
