Support Olivia Burt's Medical Volunteer Trip

Hey! I'm Olivia Burt and I am hoping to raise up to $3600 to go towards a volunteer medical trip to Costa Rica during winter break. Clemson has a program called Vida Volunteer that facilitates trips to Costa Rica and Guatemala for students going into the medical field. The trip is 11 days long. It begins with a day-long orientation that explains what we will be seeing at clinics and how to treat the patients. We will be staying with host families for part of the trip, which is super exciting! We will get to immerse ourselves in their culture and learn more from inside their home. We will be traveling from our residence out to rural areas and setting up clinics. At the clinics, we will be treating around 400 patients per day with the supervision of Costa Rican doctors. We will be doing things like vitals, handing out medication, giving medical advice, and even doing ultrasounds! This is an opportunity of a lifetime and something I have been talking about doing since middle school. I started this GoFundMe to help me afford this volunteer trip. I would appreciate anything you can give. Any amount helps! I'm excited to experience this dream of mine and cannot wait to share my journey with everyone!
