PNG, No More

Today was our last day in Papua New Guinea. While the leaders of the deployment and several others were having a closing ceremony the VET team was still working. We split up into teams in the morning to cover more ground as there were alot of places that needed checking and not alot of time. My team went back to the place we went yesterday and set up a vaccination clinic out the back of a pickup truck while the other team drove around to several locations and made house calls. We saw over a hundred more annuals together and made it a great last memory for the PNG people. Afterwards we had a big lunch with our hosts where we exchanged gifts and we donated several supplies for future use. It was then time to leave our newly made friends, which was hard because these people are the nicest and quietest we've met this entire deployment.
