"Hi, I’m Haley and I am headed to Tanzania, Africa. I love people. I love meeting them, getting to know them, and most of all, taking care of them when they need help the most; little kids, especially. Children’s innate optimism combined with a maturity level that perfectly matches my own is what leads me to want to become a pediatric nurse. Along with this, I’ve always been interested in understanding why some groups of people remain living in poverty with little opportunity to progress. As a nurse, I hope to someday be able to help change the lives of children growing up in this type of environment. I am also cursed with a very powerful case of wanderlust, so to combine all of the things that fascinate me with a trip to Karagwe, Tanzania is a dream come true." - Haley

"My name is Lisa Tondora and I have been a resident of Northeastern Pennsylvania my whole life. I have one wonderful son currently serving in the United States Navy. He is married and lives in Norfolk, Virginia. Regrettably, I am still not sure what I want to be when I grow up. Currently, I am a Licensed Practical Nurse attending the part-time evening accelerated RN BSN nursing program at Misericordia University. August 2016 is my scheduled graduation date. As a non-traditional student, I strive to do my best in everything that I attempt to accomplish. I crave knowledge and find myself searching for new challenges and activities to satisfy my interest. I am a firm believer in treating others with respect, dignity, equality, and kindness. In my care, my patients and residents receive the same treatment as my own family members would. It is essential for me to move towards new employment experiences because repetition becomes monotonous for me. At times, I am too eager to offer my help which is annoying to others, especially my boyfriend. Unfortunately, this can be a fault rather than a positive quality. At this time in my life, I need to spread my wings and discover new opportunities. Until now, I have been unable to experience a different venue in life. My spontaneous nature brought me to the decision to engage myself in traveling to Tanzania. I believe it will change my life and give me a new perspective on living.
For me, cultural competency is one of the main reasons I decided to participate in this amazing opportunity. While being a medical professional, it is essential that I gain new knowledge about different cultural customs. Meeting people of different cultural backgrounds is exciting for me. My hope is to meet new people as well as gain lifelong friendships. I look forward to learning about the history of Tanzania and the people who live there. Being exposed to community health nursing in a past semester has sparked my interest in how much is involved in global health nursing. It will be a great opportunity to be exposed to the diversity and religious denominations of a different country. I would like to learn more about the needs of third world countries, future improvements, and to possibly be involved in the pending solutions. It would be an honor to be involved in spreading global awareness and let others know what thinking out of the box may do to help others. There is no doubt in my mind this will be and opportunity of a lifetime." - Lisa
