Justgiving fundraising page for Emperor

Posted on November 27, 2011 by admin

I recently returned from Ghana.

Emperor - For further homeopathic studies

I was much inspired by our trainee homeopath and clinical director of the Mafi-Seva Community Health Centre, Emperor. A small team of homeopaths and 15 of our Ghanaian students joined to offer homeopathic treatment to the rural communities of the lower Volta region. We saw over 400 patients, some with acute presentations and many suffering from chronic complaints. Many good results have been reported and new patients are arriving daily at the Mafi-Seva Community Health Centre. Continue reading →

Angie Metzger in Ghana Oct 2011

Posted on November 25, 2011 by admin

Here are some images from Ghana and the training course we just concluded in Ghana. It was attended by 4 visitors from UK and 15 Ghanians. The tutors were the two Doctors Bhattachareya from Kolkata, India.

The course was very hands on. In one village we saw up to 250 patients. It called for very quick and decisive prescribing by our teachers. Luckily we got opportunities later in the course to learn by discussing the specifics of many cases.

My Ghana Study Trip – Catie Sharples

Posted on November 24, 2011 by admin

The study trip to Ghana was life-changing for me.

I had never been to Africa before, and had never worked for a homeopathic charity before either. So it was a big experience, the effects of which will last until I am able to go again!
The course itself was beneficial. I enjoyed studying with the Doctors Battacharyea, and found their complementary way of teaching differential diagnosis and materia medica very appealing. For me there was just the right amount of clinical experience and lecture time. I especially benefited from the clinical setting. Although treatment decisions were made quickly, there was often time to discuss a case later in the day, and also to talk about related disease processes and materia medica. It was amazing how both doctors could lecture on the spot in such depth, without any preparation time. I also enjoyed taking cases myself, and having some supervision from the doctors if I felt I needed it. Continue reading →

Return To Ghana – Theresa Partington

Posted on November 22, 2011 by admin

In November this year (2011) I returned to Ghana to work with the Ghana Homeopathy Project after a gap of three years.

The project has evolved in the intervening years in some very positive directions. My trip this time was divided into two distinct parts. The first week I spent in the peace and calm of Mafi Seva ( now on mains electricity) watching the daily routine going on around me, photographing the chickens, lizard,s goats and the children with huge bundles of sticks on their heads who mysteriously traverse the compound from time to time and ,of course, seeing patients.

Soroush Ebrahimi – One of our trustees

Born in 1949 in Iran, Soroush showed an early interest in biology and zoology and things medical.  However, when he arrived in UK aged 16 he faced major language difficulties and after a year had to drop biology so that he could concentrate on physics, chemistry and mathematics.  This meant that he could not study medicine at university.

Soroush studied Paper Science at University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (UMIST).  He then followed this with a post graduate diploma in Production Management and worked in the paper industry until 1982.  He then formed his own exporting company and concentrated on that.

My African Experience as a volunteer homeopath in Ghana

Posted on January 7, 2011 by admin

By Primrose Matheson

My journey to Ghana started with an introduction to ‘The Ghana Homeopathy Project’ from Angie who I met whilst studying in London.  Having read literature about the project I then contacted Linda Shannon and set about organising a fund raising event in Guernsey for which she came over for.  That was two years ago and finally in 2010 I was able to book up my flight and along with Angie to make the journey myself, to see the difference a small group of homeopaths were making in the remote areas of Ghana.  After flying into Accra which like many cities was a bombardment to the senses (although I must admit I enjoyed the backdrop of reggae that seemed to follow us where ever we went) I was excited about getting out of the city and into the village at Mafi Seva where the clinic is based.

A Rewarding Volunteering Experience

Posted on January 7, 2011 by admin

By Angelika Metzger, who is board member of the Ghana Homeopathy Project and a practicing homeopath in London. She writes:
I travelled to Ghana in October 2010 to connect with the Project in Ghana. I was accompanied by Primrose Matheson, a recently qualified colleague who came to volunteer in support of our work and to gain experience in a rural clinical setting. We left London packed to the full with homeopathic supplies and gifts so generously donated to our Project.
During this visit my time was divided between Mafi-Seva, a rural village in the Volta region and the capital Accra. Emperor, Continue reading →
