Caprock Communications announced May 2 that Vine Trust, an international relief agency, asked Caprock to provide advanced satellite services to the Amazon Hope 2, a ship that serves as a floating medical, dental and surgery unit.

Amazon 2 is planning a voyage to Peru, where it will provide medical services to people living in remote regions of the upper Amazon River. Caprock will provide satellite telephone and data services to enable crew members, medical staff and relief workers to stay in contact with co-workers and family. To assist in the charitable agency’s cause, Caprock’s U.K. and Brazilian offices are providing free calls for the expeditionary members from March to July.

Vine Trust, a registered Scottish Charity, aims to provide healthcare for up to 100,000 people on the Peruvian Amazon and its tributaries, while at the same time developing homes and educational programs for homeless children in Lima and Iquitos, Peru.
