This blog is an account of my elective placement in Arusha, North Tanzania. Early blogs will be about the preparation leading up to the trip, this will then lead to blogs about my journey - both physical and in a professional development sense.
I would love for you to subscribe (far right column) so you can be updated when I add a new blog and my all means, comment away!

14 days to go...

So in exactly 2 weeks time I will be flying over Europe somewhere having started my adventure of a lifetime! I think I'm almost sorted, my to-do list is finally beginning to shrink - YIPPEEEEE although my stack of things to pack is realllly growing, praying I don't go over the luggage allowance!

My placement goodie pack arrived from Women and Children Tanzania (the elective placement organisation I am travelling with), so excited when I opened that package...
As you can see, it contained a lovely cozy hoodie, a drawstring bag, a sphygmomanometer, stethoscope, pinard, fob watch, tape measure, a selection of gloves and alcohol hand gel! What a good goodie bag that is!

And I've set up a donation page too, for anyone who wants to donate follow this link! As the page explains, I want to give a cash donation directly to the people I am working with, rather than a global organisation. This way, I'll be able to see first hand how the money will help, how it might be used, and more importantly, the people who'll benefit from it! The only deduction will be the commission for exchanging the money, other than that, it goes straight to the people who need it!

Thank you! x
