Having just completed their Masters of Nursing Science from the University of Melbourne, Chloe Delianis, Erica Choong, Zoe Allaway and Alice Bond came to Nepal for 2 weeks to participate in SVPI’s program. Supervised by the brilliant and tireless Kerrie Arthur, the girls did some amazing things, including climbing over a mountain to run a health camp for a remote group of approximately 200 Chepang people, many of whom had never been able to afford healthcare of any kind.
