RAM Expedition in Progress.

Volunteering in southern Guyana with RAM can get interesting in more ways than one. Pictured here is a Speckled Caiman (Alligator) battling an Anaconda in the Central Rupununi a few days ago.

RAM expedition #682 is currently underway in this district and will be working their way, village to village along the Rupununi River through the North Savannas. The team is made up of overseas-based medical professionals headed by Dr Jim Shipley and features volunteers from Georgetown with support from the Regional health department. Dentex Atkinson Daniels and Rehab Assistant Druanne Browne of Annai health Center have joined the team.

Collaborating with, and supporting the work of the public health sector is an important feature of RAM's work in the interior. Pictured here is some of the medication supplied by the Ministry of Health - evidence of their partnership with the NGO.
