Burket Thoene Family Mission

Sean Igelman is a recent graduate in Chemistry from Brown University and comes from Brent’s hometown, Medford, OR. His father is a Dermatologist and knows and collaborates with Brent's sister who is also a Dermatologist in Medford.

Sean has spent the last two months  working at the hospital, learning about the culture, and experiencing healthcare in Cameroon. He's had the chance to work in the various departments of the hospital, go to outreach clinics, spend time at a school with a Peace Corps worker, work on a HIV study, mentor the local youth in AIDS education, as well as, be a science tutor for our children. We've really enjoyed having him here and look forward to the possibility of his younger brother coming next year.
