We are in the preliminary stages of securing a partnership with the charity "Go Help" who have specialised in sending ambulances around the globe. The charity is run by Charlie Hogg and came to our attention after he received a prestigious Rotary young citizen award for his work, which was shown on the BBC.
In 2009 they have sent many ambulances across to Mongolia and in 2010 plan to run a similar campaign to Nepal. We are hoping to secure the services of an Ambulance and are also seeing where we can work together on the hospital and other DCWC Nepal projects.
We will bring you more information as we have it.

22-year-old graduate Charlie Hogg, who lives in Wanstead in East London, has received a Rotary Young Citizen Award for his "Ambulances to Mongolia" project. He raised £22,000 in three months and bought and fully equipped an ambulance which he then drove 8,000 miles to Mongolia last July. At least ten more ambulances will follow this summer and he is busy coordinating teams from all over Britain to head out to Mongolia in July, including a number of students from different universities. Next year, he is starting an "Ambulances to Nepal" project.
Charlie was presented with his Award by former "Blue Peter" Presenter Konnie Huq (pictured) at Rotary International in Great Britain's annual conference in Edinburgh at an awards ceremony shown live on the BBC News Channel. He was nominated for the Award by Rotary Club of Redbridge.
