| 28th December 2009 Cheryl Malloy | Great work Kudra - From: A story by Kudra Ricketts This work is so important in Vanuatu. Well done Kudra. I am sure your translation skills were a huge help in getting the information to these local communities. Evan and Kat and the crew from Alvei do some fabulous work. I hope you get the opportunity to work with them again, it sounds like you really enjoyed it. |
| 27th December 2009 Richard Bedford | Medical aid post Jereviu - From: Espiritu Santo Expeditions Part 2 I enjoyed reading your report. This is just a quick note to say that a week before Christmas my daughter and I spent w week in a small community that is just north of Jereviu village proper and visited the aid post in Jereviu. The local doctor (the old man who used to work with the British Medical Service ("Pupu" as he was called by the people we were staying with -- one of his relatives) was in very good form, taking everyone's blood pressure and checking their lungs. A delightful old man. The children in the community we were in seemed to be in much better health than many I have seen in Ni-Vanuatu rural communities before and the village was very clean and tidy. We were there interviewing men who had worked in NZ as seasonal labour under the Recognised Seasonal Employer scheme. |
| 14th December 2009 Darcie | - From: A story by Kudra Ricketts Great post Kudra! Hope to hear about more of your adventures soon. A Post-Christmas OZ post perhaps? |
| 13th December 2009 Kelly | - From: A story by Kudra Ricketts Kudra! Love this story, it is beautifully written. You did such a wonderful job when you joined us for our workshops. We couldn't have done them without you! Kelly x |
| 13th December 2009 Marty O'Bryan | A Double-Portion of Generosity - From: A story by Margaret Krzyzelewski Dear Margaret, Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. I hope to also be able to serve the Ni-Vanuatan people with humility next year when I travel to Vanuatu to see and experience this great work that you became a part of. Those mountain treks in the tropical heat concern me a little, as I live in an arid climate--Arizona. So, we desert people are real "wusses" when it comes to humidity. But if Seamus can do it, so can I . . . I hope! (Gotta get to the gym and put myself on a rigorous work-out program. Yuk!) Again, thank you for adding your time and talent to a great work down there. Peace, Marty O'Bryan (Seamus' mom) |
| 13th December 2009 Marty O'Bryan | Thank You for Sharing - From: A story by Kudra Ricketts Hello, Kudra, Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us. I pray that your description of the conditions for midwifery will generate more financial support for the medical projects. Peace, Marty O'Bryan (Seamus' mom) |
| 13th December 2009 James | Guitar Type - From: A story by James Lesure The guitar is actually a SquireFender. Un undersized model costing about $150. Thanks! |
| 7th December 2009 Michael | Awesome - From: A story by James Lesure Wow, this is a great post and makes me wish I had more courage or opportunity to find myself in such situations. What a great life experience. I just picked up a Martin Backpacker travel guitar myself and can't wait to take it with me on my next backpacking adventure. What type of travel guitar were you using? |
| 3rd December 2009 Rosie | the longest day - From: An Interesting Day... Cracking good read old chap, never tire of the stories xx |
| 1st December 2009 John A. Schnase | From CTX to just plain wild and groovy! - From: A story by James Lesure Excellent post! I loved it. Showed it to my Mrs right away. So glad you've had the chance to do all this in your youth. Hope to have an opportunity to meet up with you once you land back in the Pacific NW. Enjoy the rest of your travels. The employment situation here sucks, but I think better things are on the horizon for me. John Schnase |

| 3rd August 2009 Seamus | Entry incomplete - From: July Expedition Part 2 Sorry for the delay folks. Internet here in Luganville has been inconsistent over the past few days and uploading photos is taking hours.

And the scary birth story where everything turned out okay in the end and the baby was given your name. That is just beautiful! All of us back in the States will always await your return, but always know that you are such a soldier for life, and you are doing what most people don't even have the courage to think about. Best of luck with Project MARC and everything else! Your family and friends back home are rooting for ya! |
