if i would have chance to volunteer, i would like to volunteer in the country, which needs it the most. i i would like to go to africa. i want to help children and women- since they are the most vulnerable.

i am also interested in different cultures, and i would not experience it otherwise.  what could be more different, then africa?

i also understand, that besides helping others i would contribute to my career. i am thinking about medical field, and helping others will help me to see if i am strong enough to go this path. 

what could be better, then helping somebody, who needs it the most?

p.s.
