Medical – Texas
- I spent just over a month with a family in The Woodlands, around 25 miles north of Houston, TX, USA. As a medical student I was hoping to gain a broad spectrum of experience within the healthcare system, as well as experiencing family life in America.
- The experience was beyond what I could have ever hoped for: not only was the breadth of work experience completely unexpected, the hospitality I experienced was second to none.
- My hosts, along with their family and friends made me feel hugely welcome and comfortable from the moment I arrived. Together they ensured I had the full ‘Texas Experience’, from authentic barbecue, to cowboy boot shopping, to everything in between.

- The new generations programme was exactly what I was looking for as a post-grad. It combined vocational training which is nowadays so hard to come across, as well as an opportunity to learn about another country and its culture.
- Without the help of Rotary and this programme, I would not have as many opportunities opening up for me as I do today – more
