Healthcare update from Nepal

Patient at our Medical CampCuriousRoom With a View
In October 2008, our popular "Moving Medical Camp" trekked into rural Nepal to assist local villages with free medical care. The volunteer team assisted nearly 1,000 people.

With your donations and support, we are able to provide medical assistance to these people - the district of Rasuwa is nearly the poorest district in Nepal - ranking 66 out of 75.

We are returning to this area again in March 2009, to offer the same assistance. Stay tuned with updates at the link below.

Thank you for your continued support of our charity treks.
