My name is Kimboly Victoria Henkeman from South Africa.I'm 28 years old and physical therapist and a full time law student . In the 5 years I practiced physio in the rural eastern cape I was exposed to the true extent of poverty. My clients taught me humility and I saw the lack of autonomy that these people experienced. This is why I decided to study law full time . My true ambition is to help the differently abled people at home . I am still passionate about physio and neuro physio is the most rewarding for me. This includes people who have experienced strokes , spinal cord injuries and many other neurological conditions. After my fathers passing In February 2017 it's been a very stressful and sad year . This trip is an opportunity to visit a rehab centre in the USA to see what we do differently and how I can improve my service as well as further advocate for my clients . It would be an amazing opportunity to expience and explore America for three weeks but with the exchange rate and my part time work I am unable to fully cover my expenses. That's why I need your help ! Thank you for your support and bless you for your help.
