"I’ve been passionate about international development and social impact since studying international politics & humanitarian engineering at Penn State. ALTSO’s mission of providing affordable medical technology that fits the often challenging, and unique contexts of ever-changing (growing!) children in the developing world really resonated with me and the principles I applied to my work and research in school. When my best friend (NGC’s President) Anjuli introduced me to ALTSO, I was totally aligned with their mission and motivated to contribute to the incredible life changing work they do." -- Jen, Events Chair
"I was first introduced to ALTSO about two years ago through my coworker Jen (NGC), and when the opportunity to join the Next Gen Club presented itself, I knew I had to jump on it! About nine years ago my sister and her family were hit by a drunk driver coming back from a day at the zoo; in the car was my four-month old nephew. He suffered a great deal of trauma and spent several years in physical therapy and later speech therapy. Today he is a healthy, active, and joyful little boy enjoying his childhood! I think back on the trying times we went through as a family and am grateful for the resources and support we had along the way. I joined ALTSO in hopes to provide other children in developing countries with the necessary resources so that they too may enjoy their childhood and grow up to be healthy, active and joyful just like my nephew." -- Roy
"I was introduced to ALTSO in 2019 through NCG President Anjuli and had the opportunity to get involved with ALTSO’s biggest event of the year, Rocktoberfest, as a volunteer. I immediately felt a deep connection to the organization and our CoolKids and wanted to continue to stay involved with ALTSO. As an avid runner, mobility is a gift that is extremely important to me and I’m proud to help bring it to children in need." -- Helena, Engagement & Partnerships Chair
