Project is going to be them (the would be nurses) going to a village in Indonesia to give the children there basic health education. Sounds simple enough, but I don't think it's gonna be easy. It's quite an ulu place with no toilets/bathrooms/running water.. and we'll be staying in an orphanage.. no beds or mattresses. And this is for 2 whole weeks!! Part of me revel in the idea of roughing it out.. truly learning what it means to live in such conditions, reminding me not to take for granted what I have. The other part of me is telling me that it's going to be uncomfortable and a challenge.. which makes me wish I can escape it.. anyhow.. training for the mission field? Perhaps..

YEP Recce 17 - 19 Jan 09
There's a YEP trip to Indonesia coming up in July (which I think I have to be there.. for the whole thing!), it's organized by the 3 NUS nursing society students. These 3 gals are amazing.. due to the different schedule of the nursing students they often cannot make the other YEP projects, so these gals out of their own time and pockets decided to create a project so people of their course can go and experience such an endeavor. I think it takes great initiative and guts!
