About Me
- Kwan Kew
- The postings and views expressed on this site are mine alone and do not necessary represent the position of any NGOs. I am originally from a tiny island in the Indian Ocean, Penang, in Malaysia and came to the United States of America to go to Wellesley College, a woman institution that reached half way across the world to offer a full scholarship to an impoverished young lady an opportunity to continue her education. Without that open door I would not have gone on to become a doctor. Ever since I was little I dreamed about volunteering in parts of the world that are in dire need of help. I am fulfilling my dreams. When I first came to the US to study, I stayed on in a strange country and culture for seven long years before saving enough money to buy a round trip ticket to go back home for a visit. Many of the people I meet in my missions have never left home and will never in their lifetime experience what I am privileged to live through.
