My Travel Story

by: Fatima-Zahra Barnes Start Date: Nov 21, 2025 - End Date: Nov 20, 2026
Volunteering abroad is an opportunity I have dreamed about for years, and I am finally taking a major step toward making it a reality. As a Healthcare Policy and Management student with a 3.5 to 4.0 GPA and an active scholar in the CSTEP program at City Tech, I am dedicated to understanding how different communities access care, resources, and support. This volunteer experience will directly strengthen my future career goals in healthcare management and global health outreach.

This summer, I will be traveling to Rabat, Morocco for a twelve week volunteer placement in childcare. I will be supporting children who face daily social and economic challenges by assisting with learning activities, providing individual attention, and helping create a safe and encouraging environment. My intention is to give these children stability, patience, and the compassion they deserve while learning from their culture and their resilience.

This project is especially meaningful to me because I grew up in a community where support was not always guaranteed, and I have spent years caring for my family during difficult health challenges. These experiences shaped my commitment to serve, guided my academic path, and inspired my desire to work in global healthcare settings. Volunteering abroad gives me the chance to extend that commitment beyond my own environment and gain a deeper understanding of how children and families are supported in different parts of the world.

Your support will help me cover essential costs including housing, meals, program fees, travel insurance, and transportation during my time in Morocco. Any contribution brings me closer to completing this mission and allows me to take another step toward becoming a healthcare leader who is grounded in real world experience, cultural understanding, and compassion.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story and for supporting my journey. Your generosity truly means so much to me.
