Sessen Stevens Volunteers for Life-Saving Foundation in Dominican Republic

Memphis women’s soccer player serves two-week medical mission with International Children’s Heart Foundation

How many undergraduates can say they spent their summer helping to save lives? That's exactly what University of Memphis women's soccer player Sessen Stevens did earlier this summer when she volunteered with the International Children's Heart Foundation (ICHF).

The ICHF is a non-profit organization based out of Memphis that enables children from all over the world to have free heart surgeries. The foundation specifically focuses on congenital heart disease in children with the hopes of permanently ending the disease.

In May, Stevens traveled to the Dominican Republic for a two-week medical mission.
