First Week Update

We have now been here a week. I am still here on Tarawa. Our things and the teams frieght will be going to Abemama tomorrow, but will need to confirm that tomorrow. Joy flew out to Abemama on Sunday with the other ladies of the team. Gary Morgan (President of Search for One) and I will attend a meeting at the mission tomorrow and then fly out to Abemama on Wednesday. We spent today lining up supplies and tickets.

We met a Kiribati man who works a lot with volunteers from Australia and he had some good ideas of how to work with the Government such that we may not have to leave and come back in four months from now. Gary hopes to meet with the Ministry of Health on his way back home next week. Will let you know how that turns out.

The principal of the Kauma Adventist High school is here now for meeting and he advised us that the school now has wireless internet! That means we can do Skype calls from the school! What a blessing for keeping in touch with family and friends!! "Remote" redefined again! (Still no electricity at basecamp and no running water.)
