IP Student Highlight/Trip: International Medical Relief of Children
My name is Marcela Moreno and I am the Publicity Chair for the International Medical Relief of Children. We are an organization dedicated to providing children an equal opportunity to benefit from modern medicine. Our main focuses are our planned trips to South America during Winter and Spring Breaks and then community service projects around the Atlanta area. As an International Plan student myself, I know whenever I am in Atlanta, I get the itch to leave and this is a great way to help communities out and have a great break abroad! Typically, these trips are a week long and most days are spent volunteering at the clinic and some days you have a chance to visit nearby attractions! I have attached information on each of the locations that we will host trips to on this e-mail (We also host trips to Nicaragua but do not have a flyer for that). While we will continue hosting these trips, we are really pushing to make an impact on low-income communities in our own backyard! Also, we are hoping to have fundraising events for all of our members so the costs stay down and everybody benefits from that. If you have any questions at all about our organization, please do not hesitate to contact me! or the most updated information, I recommend you like our Facebook page! www.facebook.com/GaTechFIMRC

These faculty members also form a committee that helps drive the academic policies of the International Plan.
