Hi everyone, I'm looking to finalize my school list before it's time to submit primaries, and I was a bit unsure about what I have so far. I appreciate any help that you all can give me, and I'm happy to elaborate about things in the comments!
I'm not sure how to format the info about me, so I borrowed the template from another post.

195 hours serving at clinics run by sisters in parishes throughout Bangladesh (more on that below)
