After being inspired to volunteer abroad by fellow nurses, students and professors, Arsheen Dhalla, BN’10, spent a month in Zanzibar, Tanzania, working in a local hospital and teaching children math and English at an orphanage. The experience, she says, was emotionally moving and further solidified her plans to support health initiatives abroad.
