Deputation

[JohnDB]

If any of you have ever heard of this word...then you likely know what exactly it is.

As the time approaches for me to get ready to go I figure that I need to know more and more about the process of getting into the field.

Finances is a big thing...it takes money to get there and stay out there.

The work is frustrating and hard...those with a real passion are few and far in between...so many go "native" it isn't funny. Many more don't even survive the deputation process. Such a shame too.

I know what to do once I get there...and how to do what it is that we do...but getting there is going to be a financial hurdle to overcome.

Any thoughts?
