My Favorite Memory:
The amazing people who worked in the hospice that were so welcoming.
I was surprised that….
People were in such poor health.
The most difficult thing I experienced was….
Seeing people die who would not die in the UK due to the lack of resources.
My best received lesson…
Very much a cliché, but not to take what I have for granted.
Tip for future volunteers… (Clothing, travel, personal items, donations, sightseeing etc)
If medical students, bring a lab coat.
Personal Paragraph (Testimonial)
I learnt so many valuable things whilst volunteering in Zambia, mainly to benefit my career in medicine as we saw many things that we would rarely get an opportunity to see in the UK. I also learnt quite a lot about myself I think and it also made me appreciate the culture of Zambian people. I had an amazing time.
Are you willing to speak to other potential ABV volunteers?
Yes.
