Enjoy heights & panoramic views?
The International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) require a mountain loving doctor to volunteer at the Machermo Rescue Post, Nepal for the Spring 2015 season (end Feb – start May).
You will be situated at Machermo at 4450 m and the satellite post in Gokyo Village, in the Gokyo Valley at 4800 m. This provides an opportunity for a volunteer to practice mountain medicine in the heart of the Everest region of Nepal, in a stunning environment and
to be welcomed into the local Sherpa community.
IPPG pays a small contribution to accommodation while in Kathmandu; flight costs to and from Lukla and then accommodation during the walk in and out. All food and accommodation is provided for free while at Machermo/Gokyo.
IPPG will consider potential volunteers who could work either the whole, or half of the season. For further details please contact Nick Mason at: npmason@doctors.org.uk
