Welcome to our blog!

Hi everyone and welcome to our blog!

We are 5 students from UPC and we are part of an association from our university called AUCOOP. This summer we are going to Sierra Leone, to Saint John of God's hospital, to bring them some help in improving their internet networks and their softwares.

Our main goals are:


→ Install an internet network in different placements of the hospital where it's much needed.

→ Install two new softwares, one in their nursing school and other in the hospital.

→ Teach the administrators in using those new installed softwares.

→ Draw a plane of all the buildings of the hospital, with a proper scale, to make easier the planning of future projects.

→ Diagnose other problems that can be solved in future trips there.


In this blog we will be posting updates of our project and our experience in Sierra Leone and in some way we will try to approach to you the culture and situation of that country and its people.

Already in Mabesseneh!

Today we have spent the whole day in the plane. We have flight from Barcelona to París and then from París to Freetown. In the second flight, we have lived our first experience: a monrovian citizen was deported from France. Even thought, we have been advised from it, it has been hard to hear him screaming while the plane was taking off and people were trying to defend him. After all, all has ended with a delay of 1h 30. When we have arrived in Freetown, Jennifer and a driver from the hospital picked us up with a minibus. During the trip we could saw a really nice landscape although it was really dark. Now we are resting in the volunteers house, waiting for tomorrow to see that views with sunlight. Tomorrow, early in the morning, we are going to do yoga, then we will have breakfast and finally we will attend to the mass.
