Hi, my name is Parker Swett. I want to help people. My goal in life is to be a Pediatric Trauma Surgeon. But I know to achieve this future occupation, I have many years of work ahead of me. I am starting to consider how I can create a stand-out resume that will enable me to enroll in a high-quality medical school and allow me to help people today. I have a plan for next summer, and I ask for your help.

My plan is to travel to Bali next summer to assist local children with the following over a 14 day period:

-Teach Balinese children English as they have a shortage of teachers.

-Visit a natural birth clinic aimed at reducing maternal and child mortality

-Design creative life skill lesson plans and work with Balinese in small groups to master these skills.

-The learning will not be one-sided as I will broaden my life experience by learning the Balinese culture and have an opportunity to experience traditional ceremonies and view cultural landmarks.

I hope that you would consider assisting me with this mission even if it is just $1 toward making this possible. Thanks in advance.
