2020vision Merchants Connected ArchivesIain goes to Nepal
Merchant Taylors' Boys' School Parents' Association recently gave £100 to Iain Baines to help towards the cost of his work experience trip to Nepal in February.
Iain, who is Lower Sixth Form student, is planning a career in Medicine and has the opportunity to join a medical team on a working trip in rural Nepal. Nepal is one of the poorest countries in the world. International Nepal Fellowship (INF) is a Christian mission that has been working in Nepal for over 50 years providing healthcare for the poorest members of that society. The surgical programme was formerly based at a hospital in Pokhara but some 15 years ago it become apparent that many of the population were unable to access that facility because, being subsistence farmers, they were unable to leave their villages for any length of time. It was then that the ‘Camps' programme was set up to take surgical healthcare into rural areas where it was needed. Ian is going to join one of these camps to help the programme with its work.
He is going to working alongside a final year medical student from Oxford so hopes it will help him gain insight into the life of medical professional as well experience the challenges faced by healthcare workers in other cultures.
