Type of non-profits that would interest: Orphanages and Homes for Children or Women

I want to volunteer because I want to volunteer because I want to get involved with the community. I love children and I feel I can contribute a lot to their lives. I'm applying to med school and I want to gain some experience with people, especially children. I also feel that these children can teach me a lot. I'd like to learn about their lives, their experiences, their perspectives and help them with their dreams, just like they would be helping me with mine.

What motivates me is a need to do something good in the world.  I live in Toronto and my perspective on life is very limited.  I want to make a difference, I want to make a change.  I want to help children, just because its the right thing to do.

Hobbies / Interests: I love to travel and write, read. I do yoga, play the piano, work out. I like skating and movies and dancing also.

 

Language spoken: English
