Indonesia…. a distinct new possibility

Okay, so I know I seem to change my mind a lot, but this is not strictly speaking a change of mind. Just the acceptance of a new opportunity :-)

I have been offered voluntary work with an organisation in Banda Aceh. They have invited me to go and have a look at the work they are doing, so i’ve decided that this is what I will do on my way home from the UK, instead of going to Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. I will hopefully still get to spend a couple of weeks in Thailand, but I’m so excited about finally getting to do some actual work in a country that has been so ravaged by disaster.

And to hear of the ongoing tragedy after the earthquake last week, really makes me want to get in there as soon as I can. I am still interested in going to work with MSF in January next year, but will have a look at this in the meantime to see if it’s a distinct new possibility for me.

So I’ve finally booked my tickets home - and will be arriving in Perth around the 28th November after a couple of weeks in Melbourne and Sydney. Bring it on!!
