I provided educational support and helped enhance cognitive development of children at a disability centre in Vietnam. This trip enabled me to draw on my existing knowledge, expand my abilities and perform culturally appropriate practices. I strongly recommend international exchange, it’s the perfect opportunity to explore who you really are and broaden your global awareness.
Studied health sciences in Vietnam.
