We have had a surperb presentation from Karen Abbs, a representative of Medecins Sans Frontieres (Doctors Without Borders).
The MSF office in London http://www.msf.org.uk will respond very quickly to your online request and arrange for a local MSF volunteer who has recently returned from frontline duty to visit and present a moving account of the charity's amazing work in conflict zones. Be prepared to feel that you are right there amidst the terror and bloodshed of war or disaster. It isn't all medical. There is the logistics of moving people and materials into inaccessible & hostile places as well as the after care for mental as well as physical trauma.
