A mate of mine just got back from 6 months in Uganda helping a group called Watoto. Basically helping young children and women who were forced into being child soldiers, bush 'wives' or simply just went through hell in the Northern Uganda war. There are many broken people in Uganda (some fuckin' horrific treatment perpetrated by the LRA (resistance rebels), 50% of the population (I think) is under 15 years old and there are many aid/hiv orphans and babies who are in dire need of someone to come and look after them and provide them health care. If Paeds is something you're interested in, this might be something for you to consider.
It obviously is a third world experience, however my mate who is a teacher (brother is ortho surgeon) and his wife came back raving about their experience having seen a desperate need amongst the people. The people themselves are amazing, fun and big hearted. They are planning to go back for longer.
Just another idea![]()
Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.
