Sam (aged 15) contacted Study Links because he was suffering with stomach problems. We organised for him to visit his school doctor and kept parents updated about his illness and monitoring. At 9pm, we received a phone call, Sam had deteriorated and school were taking him to hospital. We immediately updated Sam’s parents and explained what to expect. The hospital insisted that an adult stayed with Sam until he was discharged.

One of our team immediately set off to the hospital and stayed with Sam for 3 days. We regularly kept Sam’s parents updated in their native language, translated medical updates and ensured that the school was passed any relevant information. Sam was discharged from hospital and advised to rest. As Schools do not allow students to return to school until they are healthy again, we organised a suitable homestay family to look after Sam and one of our drivers drove Sam from the hospital to his homestay.

After 2 days in Study Links homestay, Sam was ready to return to school. We informed school that Sam would be returning, organised one of our drivers to take Sam to school, arranged for a school staff member to greet Sam on arrival and kept Sam’s parents updated.

As Sam’s guardian, Study Links regularly check-in with Sam (not just) about his health as a precaution.
