The USF chapter of Premed AMSA is proud to announce its fundraising plans to work with the Villa La Paz Foundation this year!
"Approximately 30 miles from Lima, capital of Peru, in the foothills of the Andes mountains is located a home for destitute ill children directed by Dr. Anthony Lazzara, a parishioner of Christ the King Parish in Tampa, Florida. Dr. Lazzara is a pediatrician who left an academic position at Emory University in 1983 to begin an apostolate among the poor children of the Developing World. The home is called Hogar San Francisco de Asis (St. Francis of Assisi Home) and receives sick children whose parents cannot afford to buy them required medicines or treatments to restore them to health. The children live in the home and receive all necessary medications, food and other needs without charge. Once they are well, the children return to their families. The most frequent illnesses treated are chronic diarrhea, malnutrition, tuberculosis and chronic respiratory diseases."
Via Villa La Paz Foundation
Please help us support these children! Many current and former AMSA officers have participated in AMSA's fundraising initiatives. It is a great way to get to know AMSA officers, get some volunteer experience, and may potentially lead to an officer position. Please contact any of the AMSA officers for more information on how to help out.
