\"Rebecca<\/a>This week\u2019s Abroad101 Student of the Week is a sophomore at Texas Tech University. Rebecca Metzler is a pre-nursing major who plans on heading\u00a0to nursing school and eventually pursue a career as\u00a0a mid-wife or neonatal. She is currently a member of the Double T Health Service Corps which is an organization that not only exposes her to knowledge about the field of nursing but also hands on experience at local organizations in Lubbock!\u00a0Outside of school Rebecca devotes a majority of her time to volunteering. You can either find her at UMC Hospital, where she works along transports or the Therapeutic Riding Center, working with children. Way to get involved in your\u00a0community, Rebecca!<\/p>\n

Rebecca will soon\u00a0be studying abroad\u00a0in Port Elizabeth, South Africa through ISA service learning! Through this program she will have the opportunity to become educated through volunteer work and workshops covering topics such as HIV\/AIDS, poverty, community wellness, and early childhood development.\u00a0Rebecca is ecstatic to participate in this program because she will be learning through hands on experiences and become more educated about African medicine and healthcare techniques.<\/p>\n

To help make this awesome goal a reality she has started a fundraising Mission to help cover some of the costs of the program. You can check out Rebecca\u2019s Mission here!<\/p>\n

The Abroad101 Student of the Week initiative awards a student who created a Mission for a study abroad program on GoEnnounce with a donation to their fundraiser. Learn more about this partnership from Abroad101 CEO Mark Shay and GoEnnounce co-founder Melissa Davis\u00a0here.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re making weekly donations to study abroad fundraisers! We hope you can help us assist these students in reaching their goals and\u00a0make their travel dreams a reality. Visit\u00a0<\/span>here\u00a0<\/span>to help with this mission. To find out more about studying in South Africa, like Rebecca, visit the Abroad101 program\u00a0page.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned for our next Abroad101 Student of the Week!<\/p>\n
