My name is David Charles Kurtmen, but my friends call me Dave. I was born in Santa Cruz, California in 1987. I am currently in medical school at St. George's University. I graduated from the University of California at Santa Barbara in 2011 with a B.S. in Biology. While in college I played lacrosse and served as a course assistant for one of the most popular courses at my university.

FAME in Tanzania

I am leaving for Karatu, Tanzania on July 5th 2011 and will be in Tanzania and traveling in east Africa until september 9th.
I will be volunteering with FAME Africa http://www.fameafrica.org/
I will be volunteering as a medical intern and doing HIV/AIDS education for six weeks.
I have left three weeks at the end of my trip, in which I hope to travel and if everything works out summit Kilimanjaro! : )
I have gotten all my vaccinations, the typhoid pills gave me a little bit of trouble but I am through that now and all I need to do medically is get malaria medication and a few prescriptions for antibiotics just in case I get an infection.
