Hiding insulin in a remote monastery in Burma (#31)

Welcome back to season 4 and our journey around the world!

 I am
excited to share Vassia Karpeta's story with you!


Vassia's journey as a dental volunteer began 15 years ago in
Uganda, she then travelled as a dentist and T1 diabetic to a very
remote monastery in Burma/Myanmar, where she continues to help
build a dental practise to treat 1400 children, many of them are
orphans.


In the podcast episode, she also shares how she managed to find a
cool hiding place for her insulin with the help of one of the
monks running the monastery.
