My son is going on a six week relief trip to Cape Town South Africa to work with HIV/AIDS patients. He is looking for sponsors to help defray the cost. He is studying to be a primary care physician with the goal to do relief work for several years after graduation from medical school and then to bring the skills he will acquire to practice primary care medicine in the US. He is currently a senior and will soon complete his undergraduate degree in Biology.
The relief work will be performed in association with the organization, Cross Cultural Solutions.
Cross Cultural Solutions operates volunteer programs around the world in partnership with sustainable community initiatives, bringing people together to work side by side while sharing perspectives, and fostering cultural understanding.
