Gagan Singh:
I was initially drawn to Western Heads East because it was a means through which I could practically apply my undergraduate training in microbiology & immunology to help others. More importantly, though, the cultural sensitivity and sustainability of WHE initiatives by integration of local partnerships at every level of this globally collaborative endeavor are the reasons which kept me coming back year after year as a general member and now as a fundraising and education committee member for 2 years. There is always something to learn, and for that, I am incredibly grateful.
