Two Weeks, Lasting Impact: A Life-Changing Journey into Kenyan Healthcare and Culture

by: Rady Negatu - United StatesProgram: Dentistry/Pre-Dentistry Shadowing & Clinical Experience
10

Travelling to Kenya for merely two weeks was not nearly enough to experience such an amazing culture and amazing people full of joy in their hearts. This trip opened my eyes to the challenges countries in Africa face when compared to other countries and what a blessing it is that a program is going above and beyond to give to those deserving yet underrserved. Even though I was there for a short time, I gained so much knowledge from compassionate an selfless doctors and hopefully have impacted th...

Internships in Uganda are ideal if you want the kind of internship experience that doesn't keep you confined to the university classroom. An internship in Uganda will take place in the real world, wherever you are needed, giving you hands-­on experience in a very off-the-beaten track destination for internships abroad. 

In general, big cities tend to be popular hubs for international organizations in Uganda, such as the bustling capital city of Kampala. This modern city is an expat magnet, and is both quintessentially Ugandan and international all at once. Just be careful when crossing the busy streets in the city center, as throngs of honking taxis and boda bodas race by. Some parts of the city can seem a little chaotic, yet exciting! If you need a little peace and quiet during an internship in Kampala, many areas of the city surprisingly resemble a garden metropolis rather than a concrete jungle. 

Kabale is a sleepier town, where you can expect a more immersive cultural experience than the slightly more westernized capital, which is well known for Bwindi Impenetrable National Park. Chilled-­out Entebbe is a port city on the vast Lake Victoria, and home to Uganda's international airport. In Jinja, you will find the wellspring of the nile river, which is not just the source of life itself, but also really great for river rafting. However, this town also has a reputation for adventure sports, like mountain biking and bungee jumping. All three of the latter cities are great alternative locations for internship in Uganda that will make for a truly unique experience.
