Teaching proper healthcare and hygiene was a very fulfilling experience.

Teaching proper healthcare and hygiene techniques and interacting with the school children in the community was so much fun and a very fulfilling experience. Also, getting the chance to observe how healthcare is practiced in another country was incredible, and being able to witness live surgery up close was absolutely amazing. Lastly, getting a chance to meet open and spontaneous people from all over the world was truly incredible and I made many friends with whom I will keep in touch with now that I'm back home again!

The experience was amazing.

The experience was amazing. In my opinion it is important to contribute and on the way to enrich your knowledge about the world, not just to be a tourist in the country. I saw the differences between the hospital in Sri Lanka versus home and it was very meaningful!

The kindness of the locals and hospital staff made it a memorable experience.
