Medicinsko-humanitarna odprava Zambija 2011

(or Medical humanitarian mission Zambia 2011) 

Nataša Pekolj, Mojca Bizjak, Karla Berlec, Nina Kravanja in Matej Lunder sestavljajo skupino, ki bo letos jeseni odšla na trimesečno odpravo v Zambijo, natančneje v vasico Nangoma, kjer bodo po njihovih najboljši močeh pomagali domačinom v tamkajšnji bolnišnici. Študentje zadnjih letnikov medicine (Karla, Mojca in Nina) in Zdravstvene fakultete (Nataša in Matej) odpravo načrtujejo v okviru Sekcije za tropsko medicino pod okriljem Medicinske fakultete v Ljubljani. Prvič so se vsi skupaj sestali v začetku januarja in od takrat zelo zagnano pripravljajo različne dogodke, na katerih bodo zbirali denarna sredstva, ki jih potrebujejo za nakup zdravil in ostale opreme za pot v Zambijo.

Z namenom poglobitve znaja so se prejšnji vikend udeležili tudi t.i. "tropskega vikenda", kjer so cel vikend potekala predavanja in priprave na temo tropske medicine. Tale fotosešn se je zgodil po končanih predavanjih "tropskega vikenda". Kljub napornemu urniku, so me pričakali polni energije in idej. Dinamika te skupine je enostavno neverjetna. Med njimi se ves čas pletejo ideje, en drugega popolnoma sprejemajo. V parih mesecih so že razvili svoj "jezik" in svoje hece. Dobijo se vsak teden, imajo razdeljene naloge, zelo dobro so organizirani in imajo jasne cilje. To precej prispeva k pozitivni naravnanosti skupine, kljub temu da jih čaka še veliko dela z organiziranjem najbližjih dveh projektov, s katerima bodo zbirali denarna sredstva. Projekta, o katerih govorim sta:

- 7. maja organizirajo SREČELOV na Ilirija mitingu na letnem kopališču Ilirija v Ljubljani, kjer bodo prodajali srečke ves čas tekmovanja in vsaka od njih zadane! ;)

- 2. junija pa se obeta koncert v kavarni Sputnik na Viču, s katerim si bodo ravno tako pomagali pri zbiranju denarja s pomočjo slovenskih glasbenikov.

Poleg tega so se seveda lotili tudi pošiljanja stotine pisem različnim podjetjem v upanju na kakšen pozitiven odgovor, za valentinovo so prodajali doma narejene voščilnice za zaljubljence, v tisk so ravno poslali majice, ki jih bodo prodajali, čaka jih še dražba dresov najboljših slovenskih športnikov. Idej jim vsekakor ne manjka in resnično verjamem, da jim bo uspelo zbrati potrebna sredstva.
Njihova spletna stran je na tem naslovu. Podporo pa lahko izkažete izkažete tudi tako da "I like-ate" njihovo Facebook spletno stran, pridete na miting in kupite srečko ali dve in pa v Sputnik na koncert. ;)

Eng: Nina Kravanja, Mojca Bizjak, Karla Berlec (students of Faculty of Medicine), Nataša Pekolj and Matej Lunder (students of Faculty of Health Sciences) are members of a group that is gonig to Zambia this fall for three months. They are gonig to a village Nangoma, where they will try to do their best to help the locals in their hospital. They are planning the mission with the help of Medical Faculty (Departement of tropical medicine). They have met for the firts time in January and ever since they are very enthusiasticly peaparing all sortf of events to help raise the money they need to buy medical supplies and medicines.

They have all attended the so called "tropical weekend", where they got even more detailed and specific knowledge about tropical medicine. This photo session took time at the end of the "tropical weekend" and although their schedule was really busy, they were full of energy when I arrived. Dynamics of this group is unbelievable. In few months time they have developed their own "language", their own jokes. They meet every week, they are well organised and aware of their goals and duties. This surely helps and fills the group with all the energy that they need to complete their projects, which will help them raise the money they need. The projects I'm talking about are:

- May 7th: LOTTERY on Ilirija miting. And all the tickes are winning. :)

- June 2nd: Concert in wordly cafe Sputnik in Vič, where slovenian musicians will help them with raising the money.

They have also send hundreds od letters to slovenian companies, have sold home-made Valentines's day cards, they have just send T-shirts to print and are preaparing a big auction of jerseya of important slovenian athletes. They have no lack of ideas and I truly believe that they will succed in raising the money.
They website is not yet made. But you can show them your support with pressing the I like button on their Facebook profile and of course with attending the lottery on Ilirija miting and visiting the concert. :)
