Both Peters will return to Sumba in May to continue the SEP teams successful program.
They will be conducting clinics in Kodi/Lamboya/Wanakaka, as well as visiting many remote villages where they will test and assess many village people who cannot make it to the clinics.
The teaching of the Sumba Foundation Nurses will once again be their priority as well as some more one on one mentoring of the SEP Nurses.
