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.

Intense days

After two days of inactivity we are back! These last two days have been very intense and we haven't got time to update the blog. We have been working on the hospital and we have finished the internet installation, we also have installed the server at the school, we have continued with the measurements for the plan and we are about to finish the floor plan.

We have also visited different places, on thursday we went to Lunsar with the initial idea of going to the market but we decided to walk a little more to see the beautiful landscape. When we arrived to the market it was closed. Anyway it was worthy because the views were incredibly beautiful, here you can see some photos:






Yesterday we had the first anecdote, Quim was feeling sick since thursday and his fever went up so the nurses that live with us decided that the best would be to test if he had Malaria. They made him a test and luckily it was negative; later, at night, the nurses saw that he was starting to develop tonsils so the Malaria theory was discarted.


In the afternoon, when Quim felt better we went by car to Makeni to visit the city and buy some lapas (pieces of fabric) to design our own clothes. It was raining a lot and we couldn't visit the city so much, but here you can see where we bought the lapas: 



When we arrived home we cooked our dinner and we made a different meal at our home.
