Marudhi Mining Outreach pics

Special thanks to GGMC for their kind assistance and support in assisting with some serious winching, jacking, and four wheeling.  Also kudos to Vanessa mining company for housing and even feeding the medical team members in the jungle camp. Stay tuned for some stunning video of the treacherous road conditions (even by Guyana Standards) that the team had to battle.

This was an initial fact finding mission for the project and follow up visits are being planned.  Eye testing and specticle fitting services were also delivered in a multi-service health care package.
