Saturation have helped to sponsor two Nursing Students and a Speech Therapist from the UK, who will be working into a rural area of South Africa as part of their training. They will be based in the north east of South Africa in a town called Modimolle and will work into the surrounding area, visiting clinics and local hospitals.
Claire Boucher had this to say: "We are all really excited to see what God will be doing in us and through us whilst in SA. The challenges will arise long before we set foot in South africa, they will come in the planning and preparing for trip and will continue throughout our time away on this mission. What will we be faced with when we arrive? We have no idea yet! Whatever challenges arise none of them will be too big for us in God and this is really exciting. We pray that we are a blessing to the people that we meet and that we make a difference in the life of the poor and needy. All 3 of us are excited by this amazing opportunity to further our chosen careers in the medical field and seeing what knowledge and experience we can take to SA, and in return seeing what we can learn whilst there and bring back with us to England to enrich our personal lives and the lives of the people around us!".
