Well friends we hope this update finds you happy, healthy and harmonious!
For many of our readers this new semester represents their last on campus. Soon enough we’ll be flung to to the farthest reaches of Victoria in pursuit of our medical aspirations! It’s been a fantastic year and a half, surrounded by so many talented, fun, interesting future doctors.
Wouldn’t it be great to preserve the memories of these great colleagues, some of who you may not see again until graduation, or perhaps even later for those who will defer, do honours, or in the case of your humble narrator, probably repeat?
Well the sentimental folks on the Friends4Fiji committee have come up with a fantastic idea for MED2 nostalgia, and a great fundraiser for our upcoming Fiji Trip in August: a Year 2 Class Photo!
Now obviously, trying to get everyone together to take a photo would be a logistical nightmare, so instead here’s how we’re going to do it:
(1) You (or a friend/parent/sibling/pet) take a lovely photo of you (your face and shoulders will suffice) against a plain white background. It can be funny or serious, howsoever you wish to be remembered!
(2) Email the picture you want used in the class photo to year2photo@gmail.com, with your name as you want it written. Friends4Fiji then collates all your happy faces onto one A3 poster for purchase in Semester 2!
(3) If you want to be on the poster you have to send in your pics! If you only want your name, thats okay too, just email us to let us know!
We want to create a high quality keepsake of these precious years of social interactions, before the hospital system and ruthless hours make these but distant memories. Get excited, get snapping, and remember this is all for a fantastic cause – supporting our colleagues at the rural Umanand Prasad School of Medicine in Fiji.
Don’t hesitate to post your excitement or questions here and we’ll be sure to respond as soon as possible
Thanks for your support as always
F4F Committee
