Opportunities for Medical Work

"It’s just great to make a difference to people who otherwise would have nothing, no hope. I love the fact that I am able to work in a rural setting together with the rest of the family and community. It makes you a therapist in the broadest sense of the word, and it’s very challenging. Contacts with family, lots of tea drinking time as well as having a wide interest in family members and extended family is part of the picture. It is a big responsibility and sometimes I feel really inadequate but looking at the possibilities I am able to create, very satisfying." - Megan, 27
