I will be going to Sierra Leone in January 2012 as a VSO volunteer in the Princess Christian Maternity Hospital in Freetown. I will be working as an obstetrician and helping to train new doctors and midwives. Resources are short and the birth rate is high . . . it's going to be a challenging year.

VSO Fundraiser

On Sunday 4th December I held a salsa fundraiser event at Grange Cricket Club in Edinburgh.
There was a great turnout from the salsa community, family and friends.
Generous donations from professional dancers and teachers led to some great sessions on the evening and wonderful prizes on offer in the raffle!
My friend Frances McKay did a fantastic job in helping to organise the event, drum up support and sell lots of tickets.
People on the night had a great time, danced their feet off and gave very generously too.

At the end of the night we had raised a grand total of £750 from tickets, raffle and donations, smashing our target and putting my fundraising over the £1000 mark overall!
