My name is Aderage Dessie, I am now a Junior B.Sc. Midwife. I was one of the students who attended the GEMx program hosted in Rwanda. My home institution was Debre Tabor University which is found in the northern part of Ethiopia 666km away from Addis Ababa, capital city of the country.

We studied one course during the period of the elective program from August 23-September 28 2021.The course that we had investigated was entitled as: "Dog bite management and associated health related facts in Rwanda".

Joining this program is the best opportunity to gain not only clinical skill but also to develop social, personal and interpersonal skill. It is a cost effective, feasible and interesting way of learning and teaching methods. It helps the learners to think globally and to act locally. This program immunizes the learner against fear. It makes a student reasonable and rational. Attending this program is one method to be a multidirectional and motivated student for innovation. I feel proud to have attended this program. The eye glass through which I see my life has changed positively and radically. I am internally and externally motivated to study and to do more. Nobody should hesitate to join this program if the opportunity is available.
