Case Study
COVENTRY STUDENTS GET MEDICAL TALK BEFORE KILIMANJARO
Don’t take our word for it:
“It’s terribly important that the students and staff are made aware of all the risks and have been individually medically assessed and vaccinated,” says Father Messam, the school chaplain of Blue Coat Church of England Secondary School in Coventry.
Fr Messam led eight pupils on a ten-day expedition to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. In need of travel advice and vaccinations, he rang Travel Klinix, who were delighted to make sure the whole team were fighting fit and mountain-ready.
The pupils went on to raise over £27,000 for charity.
