Kayla Stovall is the treasurer for the Rotaract club of Texas A&M University,
Corpus Christi (TAMUCC), and also the recipient of District 5930's International
Scholarship to Costa Rica. Kayla was sponsored by the Southside CC Rotary Club.
Kayla said she was introduced to the Rotary club through the RYLA camp, which
she had attended in high school, and has since been involved in Rotary activities.
She moved from Dallas to attend school at TAMUCC, and quickly joined the
Rotaract Club, where she became the club's treasurer, and the current VP nominee.
According to Kayla, the scholarship will allow here to participate in a fourteen day
program as a volunteer member of a Global Health Team, coordinated by the
International Service Learning (ISL) in Costa Rica.
As a volunteer, Kayla will be part of a health team that responds to the medical needs
of community members who have been identified and referred for assistance by ISL.
Kayla will work with other volunteers under the strict supervision of licensed medical
professionals and will get an opportunity not just to observe the process of diagnosing
and treating health conditions, but also will be involved in taking vital signs, filling
prescriptions, interviewing patients and performing basic triage.
Stovall thanked the Southside Rotary club members for their sponsorship, and said she
looked forward to sharing her experience with other Rotaract members in the future.
