Thanks

I know that going to Malawi for a couple of years is a bit different. I could never have imagined the support that I was going to get from friends, family and even complete strangers. I'd like to thank so many people who have helped me on my way. JB my husband has been there all the way with me through the application process, the ups and downs and the packing and unpacking, the shoping, the paperwork and the goodbye dos.

Fiona a GP from Leven who I had never met before contacted me to offer support. She also sent a very generous cheque to purchase something to take to Malawi. Ann and Dave Hatton gave me money to purchase gardening tools and seeds to plant a garden. James and Ileene Anderson gave me information and support with medcines that I might need when I'm away. Rhona has really supported me with time off for training and preparation. Elsie bought me a wonderful backpack. Spencer got me a laptop for teaching in Malawi. And of course Mike for setting up the website. The list goes on. I have been given so many things to take out such as blood pressure monitors, stethoscopes, fob watches, memory sticks, pens, torches, tool cards. I've also had extra training from colleagues that will be very useful. There's too many to mention. All support has been really appreciated, all the good wishes and cards mean a lot. I think its often easy to forget how many good people there are around but they are there all the time.

So a great big thanks to everyone!
