What an incredible trip ABC 2019 was! It was very special to combine trekking in one of the most beautiful parts of the world with eye clinics in the local villages. Our group of 10 strangers quickly became very close as we experienced so many highs (and some lows!) together over the three weeks. Our Sherpa guides and porters were such an incredible team that kept us safe and happy during the trek, they were of invaluable help translating during the eye clinics and there was never a dull moment in their company!
It was a privilege to be part of the E4E team to Annapurna. E4E is such a fantastic charity doing great work in the Nepal region. The Nepalese are such beautiful, happy people who provide amazing hospitality and cook delicious food. It was a rewarding experience helping in a small way to improve vision and dispense eye drops to people that cannot readily access eye care. I would love to come back again and would highly recommend it to anyone thinking of going!
