1. What is your background (profession/ workplace/ training)?
I just graduated from medical school and will start my intern year at Austin Health in January!
2. What inspired you to become a volunteer with The Water Well Project?
Linny spoke at a global health conference I went to during medical school, and I have always had it in the back of my mind to become a volunteer as soon as I was able to!
3. Please share one of your favourite The Water Well Project sessions or moments.
I recently ran a session on mental health with another volunteer, Yanyan, who is training as a GP. She spoke about mental health with so much compassion and clarity, and I learnt a lot from her in that session.
4. What tips do you have for new volunteers?
Go into every session with an open mind and you can learn a lot from your partner and the participants! Go with the flow and adapt to things like the interpreter's style or the participants' level of interaction during a session.
