Two nurses, who live in Werribee and Altona, will soon head overseas to volunteer at an orphanage and clinic.
Sally Kime and Dianne Marshall Payne will fly to Tanzania later this month, and will volunteer from August 1-15.
“This is Di’s third time going to Tanzania and my first,” Ms Kime said.
“Di and a few of her friends and family currently sponsor children from the orphanage.
“I have heard about Di’s experience and it sounds so amazing, I just want to be a part of it too and help others who really have nothing compared to what is offered here in the western world.
“I know I have achieved so much here working in the western suburbs and been able to help may people improve their quality of life and remain at home.
“With working in a place like Tanzania, I am hoping my 20 years of nursing experience can make small changes to their [the orphan’s] quality of life too.”
On Saturday, In-balance Fitness in Werribee – where both Ms Kime and Ms Marshall Payne are members – held a fundraising day for their trip, raising more than $3000.
The day included group classes, a bake sale, demonstrations, self defence, boot camps, bodybuilding posing and giveaways.
