One charity that has featured prominently on beyondoxbridge.com is AMREF - and rightly so. A lot of graduates will look to travel straight after uni and arguably Africa is taking over from Latin America and South-East Asia as the most desired destination.

What better way is there to explore Africa than working with an organisation that seeks to strengthen Africa's healthcare systems. The healthcare sector in Africa is showing signs of remarkable improvement as the quality of hospitals and the availability of qualified doctors has dramaticaly improved over the last few years. By making the transformation from traditional medicine to a modern and well structured healthcare system, many African countries have been able to meet the growing demands for quality healthcare services for their people. This path could prove attractive for beyondoxbridge.com's aspiring medics.

For those of you with no interest in the active side of medicine there are still ways to help. Take a look at what West Ham goalkeeper Robert Green did recently to raise money for AMREF this summer. Whilst Cristiano Ronaldo was prancing around L.A in silver hot pants this Premiership footballer was maintaining his fitness whilst raising money for AMREF.

Please delve into AMREF's profile on beyondoxbridge.com and perhaps you could be doing the same next summer. It is certainly a worthwhile cause.
