Apple Watch Raffle Fundraiser: University of Alabama & UTSA Medical Internship to Guatemala, July 2024

Dear Esteemed Supporters, 

Hello, my name is Valerie Nunez Martinez. I am reaching out with great enthusiasm and a sincere appeal for your support as I embark on a transformative journey towards making a positive impact on healthcare disparities worldwide. As a pre-medical student at the University of Texas at San Antonio, I am passionate about addressing global health issues and actively participating in solutions to create lasting change in medicine.

As such, VAW Global Health Alliances (VAW Global) is a humanitarian organization devoted to improving the standard of living for those that live in some of the most poverty stricken communities of the world. Our focus is to provide communities with increased access to medical and dental treatment and health education. VAW Global runs mobile medical clinics in underserved communities around the world, as well as teaches public health classes in elementary schools and vulnerable communities.The work of VAW Global Health Alliances is accomplished by interns who donate their time and energy to VAW Outreach projects, sponsors who donate funds and supplies to support VAW Outreach projects and local health professionals and community members who collaborate with VAW to make the Outreach projects a reality in their communities. 

Many people in Guatemala do not have access to healthcare and education due to the scarcity of health institutions and schools, lack of trained professionals and inaccessibility to transportation and funds. This summer (from July 4th- July 18th), in order to help alleviate some of these healthcare concerns, I have the incredible opportunity to join with the University of Alabama & VAW at the University of Texas at San Antonio in the Medical Outreach Internship to San Pedro La Laguna, Guatemala. This initiative involves working in mobile medical clinics where I will engage in essential tasks such as patient intake, conducting public health surveys, taking vitals, shadowing local physicians, contributing to pharmacy operations, teaching education classes, and so much more.

In order to fund this internship, I am currently conducting a raffle for an Apple Watch Series 9 45mm Starlight Aluminum GPS. The raffle will take place on Monday, January 15th at 6 PM. 

If you share my passion for making a positive impact and are interested in learning more about this global health

initiative or contributing to its success, please feel free to  email me at valerie.nunezmartinez@my.utsa.edu or call at (210)-763-2873. Additionally, you can find out more information about VAW Global Health Alliances on their website: http://www.vawglobal.org. Your support is not just an investment in my education; it's an investment in the health and well-being of communities in need.

Thank you for considering and supporting this important cause. Together, let's make a meaningful difference in healthcare by moving towards a more global health perspective and partnership.

Warm Regards, 

Valerie Nunez Martinez
