A Request | December 3, 2009


hi everyone,

i have two things that i sincerely need some help with, and if anyone out there can help me, i would be eternally grateful :)

1. Medicine

i will be going to Honduras in January to do some volunteer work with the Global Brigades. my work there is primarily centered around the building of public health facilities for the locals of my assigned zone, but our team is also heavily involved in healthcare for the sickly. we will be having qualified doctors on our team to help us in our mobile clinics, but right now we are actively searching for medicine donations, so that we won’t be going there empty handed with nothing to prescribe.

i’d like to ask if anyone reading this is close to doctors or dentists either in New York or in Malaysia who would be willing to donate medicine towards this trip. i have a long list of medicine that would be very useful towards helping the most dominant diseases that affect Hondurans, but it’s way too long to attach here. i will be back home in KL for two weeks in late December / early January, and i would very much like to meet with any willing doctors if any of you could point me in the right direction!

it’s for a really good cause, and i would appreciate it so much if anyone could put me in touch with doctors or medicine suppliers who would take the time to listen to me! thank you :)

my Global Brigades website is here.

2. Hong Kong or Asia Internships

i’m currently searching for a summer internship in several fields that i’d prefer not to disclose here. the catch is that i’m looking to intern in firms that are based in other Asian countries besides Malaysia and Singapore. i have a very strong preference for a Hong Kong internship, as well as an inclination towards small firms/start-up companies.

i’ve been doing some research in these areas, but i’ve not been able to find many firms that perfectly capture what i’m looking to do. so if anyone has had experience working in any field (be it at big firms or start-ups) in other Asian countries besides Msia and SG, please do drop me an email if you’re willing to have a chat with me. i would be very, very grateful!
