About 6 months ago I heard that the church was looking for volunteers aboard a US Navy hospital ship in the South China Sea. Specifically they wanted a licensed environmental health scientist so I eagerly signed up.
Because I couldn't get the whole summer off from work I chose to go on just one leg of the trip--embark in Singapore, travel down the Indonesian Archipelago then north to a remote group of islands near Papua New Guinea, and finally south to Darwin, Australia and then home.
I will be working with a team looking at the water supplies in villages and testing drinking water, we will also teach people about basic sanitation, vector control and food safety.
After six months of anticipation I am just about ready to go.
Hope you enjoy the blog!
