Ashley Kettles

Jambo! My name is Ashley and I am from Thunder Bay, Ontario. I volunteered with CACHA for my first medical Ukerewe Fall mission in 2012. At that time, I had the pleasure of working with the Pharmacy team. Since my return, I have expanded my role working in the health care field as a Health Care Assistant in a family practice and then went on to completing nursing school as a Registered Practical Nurse. During my nursing career I have worked on med/surge in an acute facility, but the last 3 years my focus has been working in Public Health and serving our First Nations People’s in Northwestern Ontario, mainly flying into remote communities.
I am thrilled to be asked by this 2024 fall team to join them in a nursing role. I am fundraising in order to contribute to this particular mission costs: medical equipment & supplies, medications, stipends and allowances to our local Ukerewe partnerships, hospital and laboratory costs and more!  Many thanks in advance for allowing us to continue CACHA medical missions!
