Charley visited Marcel Pool, a VSO volunteer physiotherapist working in Goroka in the Eastern Highlands province of Papua New Guinea, as part of his journey from Sydney to Tokyo for the second series of By Any Means, broadcast on BBC2.
Charley accompanied Marcel on a field trip to the Mount Sion community based rehabilitation unit to see his work training and supporting Papua New Guinean community volunteers. Marcel is helping these volunteers understand the issues of disability and training them in basic rehabilitation skills.

I have worked with Marcel at Goroka General Hospital for almost three years and can vouch for his relentless and positive contribution to the people of the Eastern Highlands. Marcel deserves all the kudos he gets!
