A Life‑Changing Experience in Kenya
My volunteering experience at Tigoni Hospital in Kenya was truly unforgettable and shaped me in ways I will carry for a lifetime. As a medical student, I felt so welcomed by the staff, the local community, and the team from Volunteering Solutions, who made sure every step was smooth and comfortable.
During my time at the hospital, I had the chance to work in the casualty department, adult and pediatric wards, and even the operating room. But beyond the medical practice, it was the warmth and resilience of the patients and staff that left the biggest mark on my heart. Despite working in a resource‑limited environment, I witnessed a deep sense of compassion and teamwork every day.
I also made friends from all over the world, shared moments of learning and laughter, and felt truly connected with the culture. This experience was more than an internship — it was an opportunity to broaden my understanding of medicine, deepen my humanity, and give back to the community.
Thank you, Volunteering Solutions, for making this possible and for creating such a supportive, enriching environment. This journey has inspired me to continue growing as a doctor and as a person, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for an experience that is both professionally enriching and rewarding.
