Michelle Kempis is a first-year student at the Stern School of Business. She has been working with a charity called International Care Ministries, which is based in Hong Kong and operates in the Philippines. The charity serves the ultra-poor communities through a number of programs that provide medical care and disaster relief. She became involved in ICM a few years ago and ended up shadowing the health team, which cares for health needs like transportation to hospitals, home diagnosis, funding and hospitalization. They focused on communities surrounding ICM churches and early education programs. During her time shadowing, she photographed the people she encountered, documenting the kind of work her ICM team did. Kempis still has a long term commitment to the charity, using what she is learning in Stern to work on surgical patients’ budgets and write grant appeals.
