LIMERICK woman Orna O’Neill, who is currently studying Podiatric Medicine at NUI Galway, has been chosen to participate in a volunteer programme in Zambia with the SERVE foundation.
“This is a fantastic opportunity and we’re excited by what lies ahead,” says Orna, who is from Clonmacken in Caherdavin and is specialising in the treatment of disorders of the foot, ankle and leg.
“Our understanding is that a volunteer will be placed with the Young Africa Zambia group whose focus is on life skills and technical and vocational training.
“SERVE and Young Africa have been working closely together since 2008, delivering innovative projects that are focused on technical, vocational, and educational training (TVET), life skills, and practical youth work.
“I feel privileged to be going and I’m ready to learn new cultures,” she added.
