The first Campsite chosen for us was 3 shoplots belonging to one family. One end was a food restaurant which was still open for business whilst the Medical Camp was on. It was a great challenge to set up a medical Camp. Space was limited and rather odd shape. But we managed somehow.

Once we have recce the whole Campsite, the first order is to set up Camp, before patients and main team arrive. For this we depend very much on the young volunteer force of our logistics partner. They performed admirably through both the Medical Camps. I am greatly indebted to them – the Impian volunteers
