Copernica Adventures
is a competing team in the 2010
Budapest-Bamako trans-Sahara charity race. The team consists
of Sebastian Orskaug and Johan Hjort. A 1990 Mitsubishi Pajero 2,5 TDI has been
prepared for the 9000 km journey from Budapest, Hungary to Bamako, Mali. Our
friends and fans have donated
2000 Euros which we have spent on
medical equipment and medications we are bringing with us and will give to our
partners in the
Mali Health
Organizing Project when arriving in Bamako. We still need
your help. Please visit the "
support
us" page.
Copernica is the student organization for the
international medical students of the
Jagiellonian
University Medical College in Krakow, Poland. The Adventures division of
Copernica is headed by Sebastian Orskaug and Johan Hjort, and their
participation in the Budapest Bamako is by far the craziest idea they have come
up with.
