Story

Hi! This year will be my first summer trip to Burma for an amazing project : helping train a group of refugees in vital medical skills. In case you are wondering what? Skills like sewing up wounds, setting bones and  how to diagnose and treat in urgent situations (not many test results available here!) All this is happening in a refugee camp on the Thaï/Burma border with very limited health resources available. Once trained, these people will make a valuable difference to their community.

It costs £10 to buy 1 medical  book and 2 suturing packs.
£80 To train someone for a month (training lasts for 5 months)
All trainers are volonteers.
 I am very privileged to be able to go and share the skills I have acquired over the last few years, and I am committed to equip trainees in any and every way that I can.Thanks so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.    Sophia
