My Travel Story

I am 19, and currently a second year nursing student, and am interested in going on a Nursing mission trip. I was specifically looking into one in Tanzania, to work/volunteer as a Paediatric Medical Assistant. 
My dream when I graduate in 2 years is to go to Tanzania for a year and dedicate my time there as a registered nurse before coming back to continue my practice in Canada. 
If I can help as a student nurse, then why not? That is why I've decided to go to Tanzania next summer and offer my assistance at a local hospital. The money is not to pay for my trip specifically, but it's a donation to the hospital so that they can get more resources as needed, and use it for whatever else they would like. I think it would be a nice surprise on top of the volunteering, to donate money to the hospital. However, I can only save up for so much and that is why I'm asking everyone if they can donate even a dollar, anything would help. If I do not raise $1000, the money that is raised (no matter how much) will still go to the hospital. 
The support would mean so much to me, and to the healthcare professionals in Tanzania. Thank you to everyone who donates, and just know that when donating the money I will mention everyone that contributed. Thank you!
