2014 Mission

Greetings,

Whilst we will not be using the yacht this year, we continue to assist the PCV Health program in a range of areas, including:

1.  Recruiting dental volunteers to operate the PCV Health Dental Clinic for 1-2 weeks each month. (Vicky Silcock has just returned from a tour of duty and we have our second dentist for the year finishing up a tour this week)

2.  Recruiting and operating three Medical Outreach Missions, incorporating dental, optical and medical services, to the islands of Ambrym, Pentecost & Maewo.  Transport for these missions will be by local plane, 4WD and small coastal boats.
