I am a Dietitian working at Addenbrookes Hospital working as a Specialist Hepatology and Liver Transplant Dietitian. I have previously worked as a Gastroenterology, Stroke and general medical/surgical dietitian in Essex which has provided me with lots of skills and knowledge. I am keen to share my knowledge and experience in Nutrition and Dietetics and I hope that it will be helpful to the people and groups we meet on this trip. I am also very excited to experience India, a completely new and different country, I am sure I will make memories I will cherish for a lifetime!
I have always been keen to take part in a volunteering project in a different country and to give back to those who are less fortunate than I. Volunteering with the Rama Foundation feels like the perfect opportunity as I can combine my career with helping those from some of the most disadvantaged areas in India. Artika and the whole Rama foundations work was something I was made aware of as soon as I started at Addenbrookes and thought this is something I would love to be a part of one day. From the conversations we have had about previous trips I have seen the positive impact they have made on previous visits.
I am very grateful for the work of the Rama Foundation esecially Artika and Munish Datta as they have spent a lot of time planning and organising, to enable us to focus on the projects that we will be taking part in. I am also very grateful for the kindness and generosity of all those who have donated to support us as we embark on this trip.
