Life Changing Experience

My trip to FIMRC's Project Bumwalukani has left a lasting impact on my life! I've never met such welcoming people, both through FIMRC and in the communities surrounding the health center. I was humbled to hear community members' stories, and witness their unfailing generosity. There's no denying FIMRC's positive impact on health care in the area. Seeing countless numbers of patients receive treatment and make full recoveries was incredible. I learned a lot about common health concerns in rural medicine by shadowing and assisting the clinicians. I also felt useful making trips to schools to lead health education lessons. My favorite memories involve making home visits to see individuals with HIV/AIDS, and playing with the group of Orphans and Vulnerable Children. With the vast variety of programs Project Bumwalukani offers the community, there are plenty of areas for volunteers to contribute. Weekend trips to waterfalls, safari's, hikes and markets are an added bonus. Can't wait to go back!
