The impetus for starting this blog was a class assignment. The class is entitled Sustainability and the Seven Revolutions, which has been an interesting and enlightening class. Very briefly, this class has us looking at world population, resources, technology, information, economic integration, conflict and governance and how each of these topics interrelate, all with the goal of making us better global citizens by getting us to think about our responsibilities to each other.
My assignment: A virtual pulic service project designed to educate, stimulate, provoke or otherwise inform any readers of this blog. Being a nurse, the obvious topic of choice is healthcare. Being a frequent visitor to Thailand, having made a significant connection to the people of Thailand, healthcare in Thailand is also an obvious choice.
My connection to Thailand began in 2005 while on a missions trip with my church. Since that first trip, I have become interested in the plight of children whose parents are incarcerated and the ripple effects that prison sentence has on the children, the extended family, the community and ultimately the country. For more information, see www.cfpm-thailand.org. Over the next week, I will be adding pictures, lesson plans and more background information on my adopted country of Thailand.
