Rick and Bjorn have just arrived in Thailand for the beginning of the Barefoot Doctors School on Monday, January 24th. We are very excited about launching this second year of the school!
24 of our 26 students are already here and anxious to continue their medical training. Two of our students have not been able to come so far (one due to heavy snows and the other due to family problems), but we hope they will yet join us.
We are grateful for the teachers from America and England who will be joining us for medical and Bible teaching throughout the weeks of study, January 24th to March 5th.
Several things have been improved since last year, including the fact that the new dormitory at the Kalnin Learning Center now has space for our students and our instructors! This will make it possible for our teachers and students to have more time this year to communicate with each other on a personal level. This will greatly enhance the learning experience, and we are grateful to FLC for working hard to complete this dormitory.
We have added another medical book to our teaching curriculum this year, the Burmese Border Guidelines book. If you are interested in seeing what this book is like, you can read it online at the Hesperian Foundation or even download a pdf version of it for free. We will also be reviewing last year's text, Where There is No Doctor (which is also available at the Hesperian website). Both of these books are available in Burmese and English.
Please be in prayer for us as God brings everyone back together on Monday, the 24th, as we begin six weeks of intensive training.
