Motivation letterI am a medical student of Islamic University of Indonesia. I would like to take part in Summer School in Egypt.At the university and even in my high school years I took part in many activities. I was the chairman of student representative committee in high school, and now I am the one of student representative council in university. I took also part in many health projects such as National Health Day, World AIDS Day, National Medical Challenge and many more. I also took a part in evacuation process of one big disaster in Indonesia, Merapi Mountain Eruption. I was one of the medical volunteer, and I had many stories to share.I speak Indonesian and English fluently and now I am looking for an International program and I am so excited with this Summer School in Egypt. Egypt and my country, Indonesia has many similar things, so I really want to know more about Egypt. In Indonesia there are many infectious diseases and its suitable with this program topic, infectious disease and tropical medicine.I am able to be a part of a team, and I like working with people. I am flexible and open minded, and if it is needed, I enjoy organizing different tasks. I am able to work hard, and I love the new challenges. I am also eager to learn new things. I would like to take part in this Summer School, because this is an excellent opportunity to improve my skills and to gain a lot of experiences. Since I was a little child I wanted to travel, and spend some time in a foreign country and culture. I want to do something challenging. I think, it would be a perfect start of my career, and I could build up good relationships in my profession, and personal life also.

I hope that the above experiences, knowledge, and skills make me proper for being a participant of this Summer School.

Yours sincerely,

Muhammad Zuhdan Fannani
