“As the recipient of a grant, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the tremendous support that Neekoo has provided me … Through this grant, I have been able to continue supporting Iranian Canadians in this community, take courses to enhance my education and become one step closer to pursuing my dream of becoming a surgeon.

“Currently, I volunteer at two hospitals Vancouver General Hospital and St. Paul’s working with patients and getting a better understanding of the healthcare environment and setting.  This experience is crucial because as a future physician it is important to be comfortable, and without this grant, I would not have been able to get this valuable experience.” ~ Sepeher
