In October this year I will be making my sixth trip to the villages and refugee camps on the Thai/ Burma border to train local healthcare workers and medics. These healthcare workers and medics then return to their rudimentary healthcare clinics in the villages of the Karen State within Burma and provide the ONLY source of healthcare for over a hundred thousand of the worlds most oppressed people, a people in continual conflict with the brutal Burmese military Junta.
I am part of team of now over 25 British and international volunteer doctors, nurses and teachers who each year provide this training. This year we are doing ever more, with two 12 week training courses running side by side, one for newly recruited healthcare workers and one for the more experienced medics, in total over 50 medics being trained and all organised by HOPE 4 The world charity.
As volunteers we pay our own air fares and expenses as well as make a donation to the charity ourselves to help fund the training courses. However, as our projects become more ambitious and we deliver longer training programmes to the internally displaced Karen people we need more money for teaching mcourses. The money will be used to pay for teaching materials as well as the accommodation, food, writing materials and textbooks of the trainee medics, many of whom walk several days through the jungle from their villages to attend the training courses.
I would be grateful if you would consider sponsoring me and being one of many who will help me and others to train healthcare workers and medics on the Thai/Burma border who will go on to treat some of the neediest and most inhumanely treated people on the face of the earth
