This summer (2008) I was lucky enough to spend a month in the extraordinary country of Zambia. I traveled to Zambia with an organization called SKIP (Students For Kids International Projects). SKIP is a student led, registered charity (1099804), working to support child welfare and the personal and professional development of future healthcare students. The ultimate aim of SKIP is to not be needed; for vulnerable children to be well supported and cared for by their communities, and for healthcare students to be actively compassionate and aware of the realities and implications of global and cultural health issues.
