The trip to Nepal was most worthwhile and I have returned with thoughts and feelings deep-rooted within about the place, the people and Yusef's Library.

Farana Latif, from Dundee, a final year physiotherapy student at Glasgow Caledonian University, is travelling to Zanzibar during the summer to work with the sick.  Farana will spend any spare time in the local orphanage helping the children there.
