Paphos People

A PAPHOS-BASED non-profit scheme operating holidays for injured or traumatised military personnel is appealing for accommodation for a young amputee for next month.

“We have a young soldier coming to Paphos in June and we are hoping that someone has a three or four-bedroom ground floor apartment or villa they would be willing to donate for two weeks,” said Alan Wilson, the founder and coordinator of the scheme.

According to Wilson the young soldier lost both his legs above the knee and sustained other injuries in an IED explosion in Afghanistan.

He will be a guest of the scheme, which is run by Military and Retired Cyprus Holidays (MARCH) in the last two weeks of June.
