Colourful days in the International Mentoring Program

It has just been festival time both Nepal – Dashain and Tihar – and Cambodia – Pchchum Ben, which meant many of our mentees returned to their families' village for the celebrations. Mentors enjoyed learning a little about these festivals from their mentees. 

Now that everyone is back, we can share a few photos on what our teams have been up to. 

Gaurav, from Kathmandu has worked well with mentor Dr Robert Grogan, despite study and travel interruptions. Med student Gaurav is conducting first aid training to help avert some of the problems experienced in last year's earthquakes. 

Seedeth and mentor Leo Jennings, from Charters Towers Council, Queensland, is working to improve practices of waste management. Working with the villagers and the community leaders has been challenging and rewarding for Seedeth. Leo's experience in consulting has been highly appreciated.
