My Travel Story

by: Lauren Wagner Start Date: Sep 11, 2014 - End Date: Jan 8, 2015
For those that know me well, and even for those that have only met me a handful of times, it is obvious that I possess an enormous amount of wanderlust.  Every opportunity that I can find for traveling abroad, or even traveling a couple of hours to a new place, I jump at! I am constantly scheming how to travel the world, and experience as many cultures as I can throughout my lifetime.  When I first heard of the Occupational Therapy trip to Ecuador, my ears perked up and my interest was immediately sparked.  

Traveling to the Ibarra clinic with a few of my fellow MSOT classmates and professors would be one of the most rewarding, most educational, and most memorable expieriences of my life.  I have been fortunate enough to be granted a position on this study abroad trip, and the clinical hours that I will gain will go toward my first Level 1 Fieldwork.

I will have the opportunity to work with children and elderly locals, and help provide occupational therapy to those in need.  The diagnoses that I will be helping to treat will be among those that I would never be able to experience while working here in the States.

Please help me get to Ibarra to help these incredibly unique, cultural, and special individuals!  Not only would your donation, big or small, help those that we will be helping to treat, it will help me obtain a cultural experience that is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
