We’re also really looking forward to welcoming Paul, Alex, Joshua and Hugo – medics at Leeds uni – to Quishaur in the Blanca to our health post where they will be volunteering for a month this summer. They are currently raising money for medical equipment and supplies for their trip.

This is fantastic news for us and Carmen, our new nurse there. Carmen has been doing a fantastic job recently with it being the rainy season in the Blanca making it very difficult for folks, so she has been seeing more than the usual accidents as there have been some pretty bad rock falls and floods in the area.
