I am going to Kasangeti, Uganda to work alongside staff at Kasangeti Health Centre and the Centre for Youth Driven Development Initiative (CFYDDI) as part of my clinical placement at the University of Edinburgh. Kasangeti Health Centre is a district referral hospital which provides both inpatient and outpatient facilities free of charge to the local community. CFYDDI is a community based charity aiming to empower young people to take charge of their own affairs through various projects such as a community library, an early childhood development programme and a youth led sexual education programme. I am raising funds for both CFYDDI/the health centre and the cost of travel to Uganda in order to make all this possible. I am really excited about this opportunity as I believe it could be a life changing experience.
