Hello,
My name is Cami, and I’m a senior
studying Health Sciences at Arizona State University. I recently participated
in a volunteer program called Vive Perú in Trujillo over the summer, and I’m
hoping that you can distribute information about it to your Physiology
students.
When I volunteered, I
participated in the Clinical Medicine program. I got the chance to live with a
host family, hike Machu Picchu, and learn about the Peruvian health care system
and culture.
I would love for other students
at the University of Arizona to have the same experience! Below is a flyer and
more information for you to distribute to your listserv, if you’d like. Thank
you in advance!
Best,
Cami Perez
