My name is Ian Clark and I am married with three boys aged 16,14 and 12. I have been an anaesthetic technician both in New Zealand and the Uk for some twenty something years and have had some rewarding and interesting experiences.

But I have never embarked on taking on the experience of a journey such as the one I am about to take with Operation Restore Hope. This is going to be a journey on which I will travel with a small amount of trepidation but one which I think will be rich with rewards.
