My experience at ASSA has been like no other. Completing a combination of a community development placement and clinical placement provided insight into what life is like in the surrounding villages and helped me to match my treatment plans knowing what clients were going home to. The village-based rehabilitation community rehab workers and specialists are a supportive and intelligent group. They were always so helpful in translating and explaining why things were the way they were. Clinical work at ASSA was at times challenging but overall a opportunity to be creative, get to know Tamil, south indian culture and make invaluable connections with the staff at ASSA and with our clients. The warmth of hospitality I felt while staying here was never ending. I hope to come back to ASSA one day and be able give back even a small fraction of what ASSA has given me over my 3 months spent here. Nandri!
