From a Peace Corpsvolunteer serving in Suriname.
Hello Dr. Chittick,
My name is Saman Kashani and I'm a peace corps volunteer in Suriname based
out of the capital of Paramaribo. I heard your interview on 88.1 Magic FM
today but unfortunately I missed most of it.
I would like to learn more about your work and whether I could be of any
assistance. Does your organization have an office in Paramaribo? I've
already looked through your website but I was unable to find anything on
Suriname.
Here's a little bit about me. I've been here in suriname for close to 10
months now and I plan on staying for another year and half. Currently,
I'm working at a clinic which is responisble for close to 3000
underserved patients. I've graduated UCLA with a major in microbiology,
immunology, and molecular genetics. Before coming here I worked in LA in
public health and injury prevention and I was a working EMT (Emergency
Medical Technician) for close to 4 years.
Thanks for your time,
Saman Kashani
Peace Corps Volunteer
