Phelophepa Health Train

We went to a charity event yesterday at St Edmund’s College.

Wonderful Lillian Cingo, pictured below, is Train Manager of the Phelophepa Health Train and has lived on the train for 36 weeks each year for the last 14(?) years. The train is a mobile mini-hospital and health clinic, travelling South Africa to bring healthcare to the poorest rural communities. As well as providing care wherever they go, they also teach health volunteers in Edu-clinics to support communities after the train has gone: it may be years before the train returns to the area. It’s this fantastic teaching work that the The Canon Collins Trust funds, and for which the event was held.
