“From the very beginning of this adventure I felt safe, warmly welcomed and always surrounded by people who are willing to help me with any difficulties encountered along this journey.”

“The passion of the staff was inspiring. It was very humbling and fulfilling to train young local doctors who were working alongside. If you are thinking about volunteering, definitely do it. I am so glad I did it! Working at Ufufuo Health Center and with KEDAS team it’s a perfect way to help give back to the community.”

“Η παραμονή μου στην Μπουκόμπα ήταν εξ αρχής πολύ – πολύ ενδιαφέρουσα. Ένα αξιοζήλευτο Κέντρο Υγείας με ευγενικό και εργατικό ανθρώπινο δυναμικό. Εξοπλισμός αρκετά καλός με συνεχή βελτίωση. Πέραν της καθημερινής εργασίας , η δυνατότητα να επισκέπτομαι σχολεία και χωριά με σκοπό την ενημέρωση των κατοίκων πάνω στην στοματική υγιεινή και την πρόληψη στοματικών ασθενειών , μου έδωσε απίστευτη ικανοποίηση.”

“With great efforts of all medical and paramedical local staff, under the supervision and continuous support of KEDAS team, Ufufuo Health Center has managed to make a genuine contribution to Kagera healthcare services. The most valuable part of this experience is the interaction with the natives; I have learned to respect diversity.”

“I think that the most important thing that I learned during that mission is that nothing in life should be taken for granted. Good health, good food, even drinking water are not given, but must be earned through good planning and hard work. This was a real life lesson for me. I would certainly recommend to other colleagues to volunteer with KEDAS and assure them that, apart from helping others, they will have a life-changing experience themselves.”
