We had an amazing experience at Watoto village in Uganda. During the three-week service trip, we assisted with general healthcare in a nurse clinic, Suubi Clinic, and Baby WATOTO. The work was challenging with limited resources, yet rewarding when the children showed their trust in us and their health progressed well. In addition, the collaboration with local staff and volunteers from the UK and US has been invaluable. We treasured their support and friendship.

The practice has enriched our clinical experience and global health perspectives, and it enabled us to visit and interact with the local community. We also explored the local nature and were captivated by the wilderness. All these experiences are unforgettable and we believe this inspiring journey will benefit our future nursing practice in Hong Kong. We are grateful that the School has offered us this eye-opening exchange programme.
