September 24 – October 15, 2008
A year after their first trip, William is returning to Nalerigu, Ghana to photograph the festivities around the hospital’s 50th anniversary. Heidi is working as a surgery resident in Macon, GA and Trey is staying with his grandparents during William’s absence.
October 3, 2007 – January 6, 2008
Heidi is currently in her fourth and final year of medical school at USF. During the 4th year, med students choose various rotations they wish to do for a month or two at a time. At the same time, the IMB has a medical receptorship program that Heidi was accepted into. This program pays all of Heidi’s expenses to work for two months or more at any overseas Baptist hospital. Heidi will be working at the Baptist Medical Clinic in Nalerigu, Ghana for 3 months and her time there counts as a foreign study rotation at USF.
William has been serving as volunteer webmaster and tech support for the IMB’s West Africa missionaries for several years now. He will be using the trip to offer computer support to the hospital and personnel in Nalerigu. He will also serve as a volunteer member of the West Africa “media team” and document the work of the missionaries in photos and videos. He will be working with other media personnel on content and multimedia for the West Africa regional website GoWestAfrica.org. He also hopes to produce a promotional DVD to raise awareness and support for the hospital in Nalerigu.
Trey has long held the title of “Cutest Baby in the US of A” and hopes to claim the international title by checking out the competition overseas. He will primarily serve as “morale booster” for his parents when they are tired of the heat and long work hours.
