I'm not in the medical field at all - I'd likely do something related to IT support or help desk stuff, or even general mechanical services. What I'm really interested in is the experience and the opportunity to help others. They seem to be a Christian organization. I'm not a Christian, or even open to religion, but I'm tolerant of other faiths. They say they're based on the "model of Jesus", in the form of selfless giving, which aligns with my ideals. I don't know all the specifics, but I'd be expected to pay my own way for most things. Food and housing would be fully taken care of. It just sounds like a neat experience. <cite>treewojima posted [p:890942533] in I'm thinki...

I'm sure there will be plenty of death on board, but that's life. Africa is a depressing place at times <cite>treewojima posted [p:890943127] in I'm thinki...
