Advocacy For Arab Women's Health Awareness

05/07/2024

Hi friends! A group of medical students, physicians, pharmacists, nurses and I are going to Guatemala from May 18th-June 1st to provide medical care to the people of rural San Lucas Tolimán. Our group is raising money to buy essential medications, supplies, and equipment to treat mostly women and children who often have no other recourse for medical care.

I will link our Gofundme below—your generous contributions will change the lives of our patients!!! Funding for this trip will also help me develop my medical interview skills, practice my Spanish, and realize my professional ambitions in global health.

Any contribution will help as will simply spreading the word! Thanks!

Welcome to our GoFundMe page! We are a group of medical students … Grace Riedl needs your support for Bring Free Medical Care to San Lucas Toliman, Guatemala!

Hello Everyone and Happy Friday,
I am thrilled to see my fellow sisters’ engagement in my last post about the upcoming Mira’s annual women celebration event, which is taking place on May 16th in Chicago so if you’re interested in joining us, please don’t forget to register.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I’d like to invite you to follow my instagram page that specifically targets women’s wellness in many perspectives. The purpose of creating it is to foster a healthy living community that empowers minority Arab women to build their strengths and self-esteem to lead fulfilling lives with an emphasis on enhancing physical, emotional, familial, environmental, & social wellness.

Please feel free to scan & share the QR code of this page included in this photo with your fellow sisters to reap the benefits of practicing wellness skills and to ensure healthy & effective outcomes related to women’s overall wellbeing. Thanks in advance for your contribution. Stay well!

مرحبا للجميع
