      I would have to think about it but all my family are in the uk so if I moved I would miss them too much. I think it is fantastic that others work in Africa as the difference that can be made is huge and you can also learn a huge amount and bring those experience back to the uk.

      I agree, I am really close with my family, but if I could make a difference I would definitely consider it.

      I do actually work with some people in South Africa who send me blood samples to test. There are families with rare genetic conditions in South Africa and I look at their blood plasma to see how these genetic changes affects how the blood works.

      So sometimes you don’t have to be in a set country to help out, people can work together from all corners of the globe 🙂

      I would be a huge decision and I think if I knew it was only temporary I would defintely do it. All of my family are here so I would really miss them. I actually have a friend who lives in South Africa who does conservation work with anmals so I would have somewhere to live at least! 🙂
