Update: GIN Dialysis Group

I've decided to continue working in the GIN Dialysis group this year. On September 2, we had our second group meeting. In the meeting, we elected offices (Vice President, Treasurer, and Secretary) and split everyone into three different sub-groups (fundraising, awareness, and media). I decided to join the awareness group because I believe that being in the awareness group would make the most difference. I want people to understand what dialysis is, how it affects people (especially in the local community of Baguio), and what we could do to help. Last year when we went to various clinics to learn about the people who have dialysis, it was a very emotional time for me. It was sad to hear their stories. There was one particular woman who I interviewed and she was telling me how she could barely afford her treatment whilst paying for her daughter's education. Her family was split apart and nobody really cared for her. She has a sister that would come every once in a while but apart from that, she had nothing. It made me want to do something to change her life and other's lives in a good way. Nobody should be left alone when they go through hard times.
