I feel very privileged to have shared and had the opportunity to visit the variety of health facilities… I hope in future I may be able to return to volunteer if my OT skills could add value.

Group meals very well organised. Visits to places of medical historical interest very well-organised. All our local guides knew a lot and communicated well.
