As a 4th year medical student, I have the privilege of taking several global health electives. In February 2008, I will be spending the month working in Johannesburg, South Africa. I will be graciously hosted by Sparrow Ministries and living in a dome at Sparrows' Nest, an orphanage for children with HIV/AIDS.
I will also be working at the pediatric HIV clinic at Chris Hani Baragwanath Hospital in Soweto, the largest hospital in the world (if you believe wikipedia). The rotation is organized through the International Family AIDS Program, which provides health care, research, training, and education at sites in the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Russia, and South Africa.Follow the links above for information on how to help.
