Hi Joud I was scrolling and noticed that we are pretty similar I am Syrian but raised in the United Arab Emirates and moved to the U.S. 1.5 years ago and I will insha Allah start volunteering with Mayo Clinic this summer and see if I can keep volunteering throughout the years. I am in 10 grade which was the only difference. I would like to get to know you better one day.
Hi @hananhassan, thank you for volunteering at Mayo Clinic during your summer months. I think you will learn a lot and be of benefit to patients and their family while you’re there.
