The difference in technology was really interesting, we got to see the ‘old school’ way of doing things. This gave us some really valuable, what I like to think of as, foundational knowledge on procedures.Sam & Jason
There were several reasons why I volunteered in Ghana — I really wanted to contribute towards positive change for communities in need and I also wanted to experience something bigger than myself and my city.Ali F
I applied online which was extremely easy and fast. I was put in touch with a lady from Projects Abroad who helped me every step of the way – from applying to giving advice on what I should pack right before I left the UK. I was offered so much help and guidance before I left for Tanzania that I felt at ease about my trip, I was full of excitement when I left for my Teaching Project in June.Heather P
We took part in various workshops such as a TB and Malaria, Tropical Diseases, a HIV/AIDS workshop and a Surgical Workshop (where we even sutured chickens!). These workshops gave us an interesting insight into how hospitals in less developed countries work and how these diseases seriously affect the population.Ryan P
