| About Rachael: |
Rachael De Klerk completed her A-level matric in South Africa in 2021 and was accepted to study Biomedical Sciences (Premed) at Liberty University in VA, USA, in August 2022. As a young girl growing up in South Africa, Rachael had always dreamed of qualifying as a doctor and pouring her skills back into this country to help the disadvantaged and underprivileged. From a very young age, Rachael was always helping others. She frequently visited the sick and neglected in the poorer areas of Thokoza and Katlehong, in collaboration with the NPO Kwenele, Place of New Hope. She also got involved with organizations like Rainbows and Smiles (which helps children with cancer) and Stepping Stone Hospice. She is an outstanding young lady with vision, compassion, and determination to make a difference. In her grade 11 year at school, Rachael attended an Apprentice Doctor course in Johannesburg at the Sci-Bono Discovery Science Center, hosted by Dr. Anton Scheepers. She loved the course and got so much first-hand experience, which cemented her desire to become a doctor. |
