My name is Sara Walker. Back in April I was lucky enough to receive £100 sponsorship from Forfar Rotary Club towards my medical placement in Uganda, Africa between July-September this year.

I have safely returned, and been thrown straight back into my course - out in Dunfermline for my General Medicine attachment - so I do apologise for my delay in sending you this email.

I wanted to email again to thank you all at Forfar Rotary Club for your support; I had an incredible time.
While out there I really did do and see so much. I feel very lucky to have had such an experience.
Sometimes the placement was extremely difficult due to the conditions faced out there by some and consequently the detrimental effects their poverty has on their health; it was very shocking on quite a regular basis.
From an academic point of view I saw some incredibly interesting cases and I found the differences and often similarities in treatment of disease out there fascinating. However, I also feel I learned about a lot more than just medicine from the trip; it was eye-opening going to a developing country for a start and I was incredibly fortunate to meet some interesting and very like-minded souls while out there who helped to make the experience a more enjoyable as well as educational one.

Sara is the one on the left.
