In order to reach remote areas that
are difficult to access by ground transportation, RAM
Airborne volunteers will enter by airdrop. Personnel
and supplies will be brought in by plane and air-dropped
into clearings near the areas in need of aid. Doctors,
nurses, and other medical and non-medical personnel,
who are willing to jump from a perfectly good airplane,
are needed for these extreme expeditions.
|
The return
home will be by whatever means is available and, depending
on the location, may include: exhausting hikes through
dense forests, forging rivers in dugout canoes, horseback/pack
mule, or any other possible means of transport. RAM
Airborne volunteers must be prepared to handle physical
challenges, in order to provide medical aid to the
most remote reaches in the world.

RAM Airborne volunteer requires skills
that go beyond the traditional scope of medicine,
volunteerism, and skydiving; which is why training
is now available through the nonprofit school Airdrop
Assist, www.airdropassist.org.
Find out if you have what it takes to take part in
these extraordinary expeditions, by attending one
of the classes offered throughout the year and get
a taste for the adventure near home!
