Community Healthcare Visit - Update 1

We have had a number of very positive enquiries about this trip and hope to arrange a date for the Orientation Day (likely to be a weekday) shortly.

Suggested Dates  28 February - 6th or 8th March

Flight  - Freetown Flyer from Heathrow operated by BMI

Accommodation.  Likely to be the hotel used by the last team to visit, a good standard and very near to the community we are working with.  The hotel 5/10 is owned by the Teachers' Union in Sierra Leone and built in co-operation with a charity started by a Sierra Leonean in Denmark.  It is called 5/10 because the 5th October is World Teachers Day.

Hotel 5/10

Hotel Dining Room

Cost:  Up to £1,000 in total, including flight, accommodation, transport, meals, purchases and gifts you may wish to give towards individuals.
