GCAT Project to Support Medical Clinics in Guizhou - Photos from my visit in March 2008
GCAT (the Global Concerns Action Team) at Li Po Chun United World College in Hong Kong is sponsoring the construction of two medical clinics in Majiang County (麻江县), Guizhou Province, China in co-operation with Amity Foundation. This page is one of 36 galleries showing the area and its medical needs.
