Kirstie Trup is hopeful of attending Rosh Hashanah services this week, despite still recovering from the injuries she suffered last month in an acid attack in Zanzibar.
Her father Marc Trup said this week: “If she’s feeling up to it, she will be going”. The family are members of Woodside Park Synagogue in north London.
Eighteen-year-old Kirstie and her friend Katie Gee, both former JFS students, were working as volunteer teachers on the east African island when they were doused with battery acid by two men on a moped.
Kirstie, who is recuperating at her home after receiving a skin graft at the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, has expressed her frustration at the lack of progress to find the men who attacked her.
