Fundraiser Profile
Join me and change lives in Guatemala
Hello! My name is Sarp Dora Kurtoglu, and I am a 2nd year international student at UC Berkeley studying Bioengineering! I joined OHNI through the MSP Program during the Summer of 2019, where I was fully immersed into medicine and ENT by top tier physicians. After this experience, I was determined to dedicate my life and career to serve those in need the most around the world. That’s why I will be attending a medical/impact mission to Guatemala in March with a team consisting of extraordinary physicians, professionals and students, hoping to improve the lives of people that need us!
Born in Beijing, I learned to read and write French in Brussels, grew hair on my arms in Ankara, and attended homecoming in Los Angeles. Every time I moved to a new place, the language, people, and culture changed, but my passions stayed the same. I am passionate about building multicultural bridges with people from different and diverse backgrounds. I am also passionate about medicine and helping those in need. That’s why I am fundraising to help fund the medical, educational, and social services that we will provide in Guatemala!
Thank you again!
Sincerely,
Sarp Kurtoglu
I’ve committed to raising $10,000 towards Medical and Impact Missions in Guatemala. With your support we can change lives.
Medical and Impact Missions are 100% funded by donations from supporters like you. We commit to communities with little to no access to medical care, and bring all supplies needed to perform a wide array of medical services.
Your donation is…
- Providing clinical and surgical services, at no cost, to those living in extreme poverty in Guatemala
- Arranging and paying for transportation for patients living in remote villages
- Providing local language experts to eliminate language as a barrier to care
- Securing lodging for patients in the city during treatment and post op care
- Sponsoring children to be fed, sheltered, clothed, and protected at the Hogar Shalom Orphanage
- Adding up to 50 computers for children in remote villages to learn employable skills that can lift them out of poverty
- Refreshing a school and orphanage living quarters, inside and out, with new paint and onsite community works
- Increasing access to education skills training
