Departure time
13 October 2019
Papa (Walter) has packed his bag and is ready to go. We're overwhelmed with the generous support. Thank you to all those who have contributed towards some of his travel cost but most importantly towards the project.
I spoke to Dad early this week and he'd already packed to see how much his luggage weighed. (Only 3 kgs overweight).
How did you prepare for the trip?
I got my Visa and managed to get all my vaccinations up to date and hope I remember to take all my prophylaxis.
Kees and I were able to prepare some of the lectures.
How long is the flight?
Total of 19 long hours!
What's the temperature in Bangladesh?
It's now 7am and 26C
What are you looking forward to the most?
The food... But most importantly working with the team to make health and community workers aware of the palliative needs in humanitarian crisis situations.
What are you not looking forward to?
Mosquitoes! And the high humidity - up to 32C and 85% humidity.
Feel free to add more questions below and will try to get Papas answer for you.
