We kindly ask for your assistance in sending us to Lima, Peru. This trip could be considered the vacation of a lifetime for us, but truthfully, it's so much more than that. As Pre-med students at our respective universities, we constantly delve into the discipline of natural sciences and end up keeping the knowledge confined within ourselves. This opportunity will give us the privilege of taking a hands-on approach in medicine, but most of all, it will allow us to provide health services to the less-fortunate citizens of Lima, Peru.
