Gap medics is a self-funded pre health shadowing project that myslef and my friend are taking part in in 2017. Gap medics is an organisation that provides young people with the opportunity to gain valuable experience and understanding of international health care, travelling to developing countries to help others that are less fortunate and support the work already being provided. The experience will help us to gain a better understanding of our chosen career paths and strengthen our university applications, where we will be shadowing doctors and taking part in activities that are not available to us in the U.K.  Since the trip is overseas is has to be self-funded, it will require s lot of hardworking for us to raise the amount of money required. Our target is to raise £3000 each, to cover flights, sign up fees, placement costs and important necessary vaccinations. We are full aware of the extremity of our target but, alongside our own motivation, we're very positive that support from local areas will enable us to achieve our goal.
