Joining the SLAS program is a lifetime opportunity that has opened doors of my life. From the first day’s experience; the aptitude test and the interview, all have put me at a better edge in the competitive world. My first rotation was at the Community Liason Group (CLG) was very interesting and educative. I learnt that the CLG department is a bridge or a link between the community and KEMRI. It ensures that a good relationship is maintained between KEMRI the community .it does this by initiating different programs such as having open days, going for barazas, the radio program, electing KEMRI community representatives. I had a chance of attending the barazas and The Community Advisory Board training which was very educative.
