Goals for 2008


It looks like this is going to be a pretty good place to record things. Setup was quick and easy.

So, what does Sam have planned for 2008? I've already received some emails from Pat and Deanna. They have been working in Laos for a little while, and arrived in Battambang some time ago. It looks like a couple computers will need some service, no surprise really. The big fun this trip will be delivering surgical instruments.

Last year there were epidemic outbreaks of Dengue Fever. I decided to stop by the local hospital to see if I could be of any help. It turns out that they have a very well documented list of "things we need" in case people ask. The one part that caught my eye was the need for surgical instruments. I have contacts from years past that still work in the medical device industry. Even though it took longer than I thought it would, I was able to get over 300 devices gathered up!

So, we'll see how Cambodian customs reacts to my luggage. Luckily, I have a very nice letter from the hospital to help me get through. I especially like how I was given an honorary degree.
