2011 Contest Winners
Meet our first contest winners from 2011…
Andrew White, Jenna Quill, Junzi Shi
In the fall of 2011 the first Take a Trip with Timmy contest was introduced and in March of 2012 our first winners were announced.
Throughout the contest we had hundreds of entries and narrowed the field to ten finalists. They were asked to submit videos telling us a true story about themselves or a previous experience which illustrated why they chose to pursue a career as a medical professional. Three winners were selected. Each will take a trip with Timmy Global Health and share his or her experiences through blog postings and tweets. They have been given iPads and cameras to record every detail of their trips.
We are incredibly proud of our initial winners and look forward to following these extraordinary individuals on their global health journeys.
