Bali, Indonesia

So for those of you who don't know (and I guess those who do)... I'm in Indonesia!  I'm back with YWAM again, doing another school.  Something a lot of people don't know about YWAM, after you do your DTS (what I did last year), they offer a bunch of what they call second level schools.  So I'm spending 6 months in Bali (and the islands around it) doing an Introduction to Primary Healthcare School.  Basically what the school does is a very focused, very intense (4-5 hours of class a day) three and a half months teaching us how to run clinics in developing nations.  A lot of what we're going to learn is about treating kids, mothers, and newborns.  As well, we're doing a bunch with disease prevention, and treatment.  Things like HIV/AID, and malaria.  

I'm really excited to start this school!  This sort of thing has been something that I've wanted to do for a really long time, so I'm excited to actually get to do it.

A bit about the other people I'm going to be with.  There's 7 people in my school - 6 girls and 1 guy.  All of the girls are under 30 - I've only met one of them yet, she's from Germany, did her DTS in Perth, and actually ended up doing the same outreach as me in Thailand.  The man is over 60, so that could be interesting with such a huge gap.  There's also 4 staff - 2 girls and 2 guys.  The school leader, Christine, picked me up from the airport yesterday, she's wonderful.  She was in Perth also for 3 years, and was the roommate of my school leader last year, so they're really similar, which makes me really excited, because I loved being around my school leader last year.

I'll try to blog somewhat regularly... but just pester me if I don't, then I'll do it sooner :)  Unless your my parents... because then I'll be blogging every day.
