One of the best experiences in my life

April 27, 2018by: Mikela Kring - DenmarkProgram: Medical Internship in Pokhara, Nepal
10

I was a medical volunteer in Fewa City Hospital in Pokhara, Nepal. I am a pre-med graduate from Denmark meaning that I had no previous hands-on experience. But I still got to observe, participate and help so many people. It was wonderful, challenging, educational and eye-opening. I learned so much about medicine, medicine in a Third World country and the Nepali culture. Words cannot describe how much I learned and developed, I enjoyed this so much. But it should be noted that this particular volunteering program is not for those who are afraid to ask questions and take initiative. Your learning and participation is your own responsibility. Noone will be there to hold your hand and explain everything to you. You must ask questions, study at home to understand the cases better, engage yourself and put in the time. The more you give, the more you get!
