FIRST TEAM DEPARTS Thursday 25th August

The first of 3 teams flies out this Thursday. It comprises :
 - Dr Neil Wetzig - General Surgeon & Team Leader
 - Gwen Wetzig - Team administrator / co-ordinator
 - Dr Murray Thorn - Radiologist
 - Dr Judith Goh - Uro-Gynaecologist
 - Dr Hannah Krause - Uro-Gynaecologist
 - Anne Cock - Registered Nurse
 - Megan Cullen - Registered Nurse
 - Ryan Williams - UQ Medical Student - French translator

The team will fly with Emirates via Dubai to Nairobi in Kenya.  The 3rd leg is from Nairobi to Kigali, capital of Rwanda, finally bussing over 3 hours to the Congolese border.  Border formalities are a worry, particularly should immigration officials not accept our paperwork. Transport will be available at the border to take the team the 20 minute drive to accommodation at Maji Matilivu - home of Jo & Lyn Lusi, directors of HEAL Africa Hospital.

Two further AusHEAL teams will arrive, one on Sunday 4th September and the other a week later on Sunday the 11th.
