On August 22nd, 2008 I was accepted to go with International Medical Relief to Myanmar in October. It is a medical team but I am going to help in any way I can, as I have no medical training - makes me want to take that Emergency Medical Technician course offered at Ventura College. But they don't boil it down into a September only class.
I have gotten my passport, the shots that are free, my anti-diarrhea and malaria meds, and my North Face backpack (34ltr Heckler!) and Nalgene water bottle - so I'm halfway there...
The trip is going to cost $3600, but at least it is tax deductible! If anyone wants to help me out on the monetary part of this trip, it would really be appreciated - and I'll relay the tax break to you if you send a check written out to International Medical Relief, maybe with a "for Jeremiah's trip" in the note section. But I'm not sure when they want the money by, so stay tuned!
