Global Students
Global Students 2019
The Club had the pleasure of hosting a visit by two Rotary Global Scholars, both studying for a Master’s Degree in Global Health at Edinburgh University and both returning to the USA to study medicine with the long-term goal of researching or working in the field of global health.
Hayley Dunlop (left) from Council Bluffs, Iowa, gained a Bachelor’s Degree from Arizona State University, School of Life Sciences. She spoke movingly about her experiences volunteering in numerous roles from assisting in soup kitchens to helping in medical emergency facilities and fund raising for the ‘Feed my Starving Children’ charity among many others.
Rachel Mahbubani hails from Louisville, Kentucky, and gained her Bachelor’s Degree in Biology, Subcellular/Genetics at Louisville University. She spoke in great detail about her experience as a volunteer working closely with healthcare professionals, administration, and community volunteers to provide free healthcare to the medically uninsured in her local community. She related her experience as a medical intern in Misahuallí, Ecuador providing healthcare to low-resource, jungle communities. Her main interest revolved round the increasing problem of antibiotic resistance which she hopes to pursue further as a researcher.
We were delighted to welcome six senior pupils from the Kirkcudbright Academy to hear the presentations and judging from their reactions afterwards they had taken tremendous inspiration from hearing the experiences of these two accomplished students.
The scholars were the latest from a long list of Rotary Scholars hosted by club member Mike Duguid and his wife Pat at their home in Twynholm. The students also enjoyed a conducted tour of Kirkcudbright which they loved. They were extremely impressed by the Kirkcudbright Gallery and in particular the spectacular Gerard Scarfe exhibition.
