A word from the Vine Trust...
Brandon is fundraising in aid of their Vine Trust Medical Expedition to the Peruvian Amazon. Amazon Hope Medical Expeditions are an opportunity for volunteers to make a real and lasting difference to communities living on the Peruvian Amazon. Working in partnership with our in-country clinical teams, volunteers provide primary healthcare services to remote and isolated riverine communities, aboard our fully-equipped medical vessels, Amazon Hope 2 and Forth Hope. Vine Trust Medical Expeditions provide free, life-changing clinical testing, treatment and education to communities who would otherwise have little or no access to basic healthcare.
Donations made through this page will contribute towards the cost of Brandon's expedition, including international flights, accommodation, food, in-country transport, and a donation towards the medical programme. Any additional funds raised will go towards the maintenance and development of the Amazon Hope Medical Programme.
Many thanks for supporting Vine Trust – together we are helping to support vulnerable communities through effective and sustainable development.

Fundraising Activity
As an aspiring doctor without borders/ mediecins sans frontiere, I have been dedicating myself to various local and global medical outreach. This time, I decide to take a leap of faith to reach out to the vulnerable community in Peru in the Amazonian region. The intensive experience aboard the medical ship MV Forth Hope aligns perfectly with my career aspirations and offers a unique opportunity to understand the challenges of delivering healthcare to remote and isolated communities in the Amazon. The Peru expedition will allow me to provide care to patients under the guidance of local medical teams, study the levels of morbidity and burden of disease in these communities, and gain invaluable insights into the social, cultural, economic, and environmental factors that impact health in the region. Moreover, it presents an exciting opportunity to apply my Spanish language skills, which I have been diligently studying for the past two years, in a medical context. I also hope this upcoming experience of medical practice with a foreign language can pave the way for me to engage in more overseas medical outreach in the future. Considering myself as a global citizen who wishes to contribute my medical skills and knowledge to the world, this is a significant journey for me to get one step closer to my goal.
How I'm raising money
Currently this fundraising page is the only thing I am doing to raise money as I also have a local outreach initiative which my team and I reach out to underserved vulnerable communities in Hong Kong, such as the homeless groups and ethnic minorities, we have been raising funds for this initiative as well. Therefore, I hope, via this channel, I can seek sufficient financial support to actualise my plan and work towards my goal.
