So it Begins...


Howdy,

Welcome to my wonderful blog! I created this blog so that you can follow me as I work and live in India. This summer I have an amazing opportunity to work with a non-profit organization called HELP International. Over the next three and a half months I will have the opportunity to improve the quality of life in India through PUBLIC HEALTH! Yes, my love for public health required that it be capitalized in the previous sentence. A few projects that HELP International will be working on include anti-human trafficking, sanitation, nutrition, and education.


For those of you who don't know me, my name is Melanie Chao. I am currently a student at BYU majoring in public health. I love BYU, but I am a Notre Dame fan at heart. Go Fighting Irish!

I am extremely grateful for the opportunity I have to serve in India this summer. Hopefully I will finish packing before the sun comes up. If not, my flight plans may have to change. I am kidding, but I finally understand why people dislike packing so much. Haha. See you soon!

P.S. I posted a thought provoking, interesting, and well produced youtube video below. Let the mind blowing begin!
