ELECTRIC LAMB DEPARTS FOR SIBERUT WEST COAST

Friday 8th July - Padang
12 ELM volunteers departed Muara harbour at 2100 bound for the remote west coast of Siberut. After meeting with Mentawai Government health officials on Saturday the team will set up base at E-Bay and then send a medical team up the west coast. The area has a similar orientation to Sirombu in Nias and the isolated communities have not been visited since well before the tsunami in December. (image by Epiq - Simon Cowling)
