She gave me the possibity to go everywhere, made the contacts and appointments for me,… my special thanks to her.
B4School test with children, Royal New Zealand Foundation for the Blind, visionally impaired children at school and the nurses visiting them, and of course see Libbys weekly tasks at the Taranaki Base Hospital and the private Clinic in New Plymouth was part of what I could do there.
An orthoptic journal club meeting was held during my stay in New Zealand and I got the chance to meet the others there as well. There´s no school for orthoptists in New Zealand, so each of us is „imported“.
I learned how helpful Kiwi people are. There´s only few people living there, and they depend on each other, help each other and are too nice to make the trip back home easy,..
Thanks to everyone that made it possible for me to make this experience.
