Throughout these two weeks, we were supported. Thank you to Rajab for everything! He was always there for us and was always reachable if we needed anything. He is a very kind person, thank you very much.
As for the experience itself, we went to a school (True Vision) to help the teachers. The teachers were all kind and very welcoming! It was a very enriching experience that I recommend and wish for everyone. Thank you so much.
”Living in Zanzibar has been a dream. Waking up near the beach and watching the sunset over the ocean every day was stunning. The cultural immersion was one of the best parts of the trip; from the bustling markets to the friendly locals who greeted me with a smile, I felt completely at home in this beautiful island paradise.
My time in the hospital has been a deeply rewarding experience. The highlight was witnessing different ways to approach clinical situations and practice medicine, proving that there are many effective ways to reach a positive outcome.
Overall, I am leaving with a full heart and a broader perspective on global health.
