Community

Dalrymple traveled with surgeons, nurses and physical therapists on a medical mission to Milot, Haiti, for a week in December working at the CRUDEM Foundation’s Hospital Sacre Coeur. As a non-medical volunteer she helped with various tasks including assisting nurses, organizing the orthopedic supply closet and entertaining patients. Dalrymple was also inducted into the Red Key Society this semester and is also a member of the Quill and Dagger Honor society. Red Key is the honor society for varsity athletes who have succeeded academically and athletically and have made an impact in the Ithaca community. The Red Key Society participates in many community service events. During the Summer of 2009, Dalrymple went to Moshi, Tanzania with the Cornell Global Health Summer Course and Internship Program. The second four weeks of the trip were designed to be a service-internship where she volunteered with KINSHAI, an NGO cluster in the Kilimanjaro area, 40 hours per week. The organization focuses its efforts on HIV/AIDS and other reproductive health interventions. She helped create a website for the organization, and helped them with their community events related to HIV/AIDS education and water sanitation projects.
