Hi Will,

In the end I just did two weeks at Chey Chumneas as I needed to return to the UK earlier than previously envisaged. It was a fantastic experience though. Dr Sarom got me in on a few surgeries and I spent some very valuable time with the paediatrics department as well as a day with on the general medicine ward. I am returning to Cambodia in the summer where I may well spend a few days with the mental health team.

Thanks very much for your encouragement and support. I will write blog my experiences soon.

Best,

Jonny

Hi Will,
Just a quick note to say that I've had my first day at Chea Chumnas. Dr Sarom has been very welcoming. I scrubbed in for an operation this morning which was a fantastic experience. I've hooked up with a couple of other med students from London and will also probably be joining one from Australia.
Best wishes,
Jonny
