Working with children was also a highlight. We gave presentations on overcoming anxiety and helped specific children through one-on-one sessions. The freedom to explore different areas of the hospitals allowed me to tailor my experience to my interests.
Outside of work, I enjoyed exploring Ghana’s beautiful landscapes and historic sites, including Cape Coast and Accra. The entire experience has been impactful, and I’ve shared it in job interviews since returning home.
The placement not only broadened my understanding of global justice issues but also helped me develop practical employability skills. I participated in the production of documentaries highlighting prisoners’ stories, which was both eye-opening and educational. Outside of work, I explored the beautiful country, visiting national landmarks and meeting welcoming people, which made my time in Ghana unforgettable.
Working in the orphanage was the highlight of my trip. Building relationships with the children was truly rewarding, and I only wish I had more time there. The other volunteers and the local team, especially Albert, made the experience even more memorable. Ghana’s rich culture and beautiful landscape were a joy to explore on weekends, adding to the overall experience. I’d recommend this program to those seeking to observe and learn in a unique and meaningful setting.
Adjusting to life in Jaipur took some adaptability, but the warmth of the community made it easier. The city’s rich culture, historic sites, and the hospital’s dedication to care inspired me throughout my stay. Exploring Jaipur on weekends added a vibrant cultural dimension to my time there. Overall, the hands-on clinical experience, combined with cultural immersion, made this placement deeply enriching, both professionally and personally. I would definitely encourage my friends and university peers to participate in this placement.
