Alex Phan’s Himalayan Medical Backpacking Trip

Hi all! As some of you may know, I am an undergraduate student pursuing my passion for medicine. One of my hobbies is backpacking, so to combine both of my passions, I will be hiking through the Himalayan mountains during the summer of 2015 to administer healthcare to villages obscured in the nooks and crannies of the Himalayas.Specifically, my team and I will be trekking through the Pangi Valley of the Himalayas through a group called "Himalayan Health Exchange." The trip will be between June 3 - June 22, 2015; however, I need to make my payments by February. To give you guys an idea, I will be landing in New Dehli, India and then we will take another domestic flight to a city called Chandigarh, where we will begin our land travel to the villages. I will be backpacking alongside a team of doctors, dentists, medical & dental students to help villages that only receive healthcare once a year. We will be setting up tents for our daily clinics and will be sleeping in the villages. This would be an eye-opening and once-in-a-lifetime experience for me and receiving any donations, big or small, would mean the world to me. Thank you so much!
