Dear All,

Greetings! Health Expeditions International is an newly established NGO set up by students, for students with the aim of empowering volunteers to plan, lead and execute humanitarian expeditions.

Past expeditions include Project Khon Kaen (Thailand), with future projects in Thaliand, China and Africa under study. We have also built up a healthy database of contacts and are working actively to expand this for future expeditions, so exciting times lie ahead!

Join our mailing list here where you’ll be able to receive updates on HealthEx’s developments, sign up and lead expeditions, as well as access our resources for planning expeditions. You can also join us on Facebook.

Please feel free to email us at enquiries@healthexinternational.org for any queries! I’m looking forward to working with you to shape our world through humanitarian projects

Given the recent lull around here, I decided to post about some personal opinions. Since the Media Resource Team Director, Kelvin, is still away in Taiwan for the 53rd International Pharmaceutical Students’ Federation (IPSF) Annual Congress 2007, I will take over the reins and inject some activity around here.

There you go.

For the avid blog readers amongst you, if you haven’t heard of this well-known pharmacist blogger, do take a visit to The Angry Pharmacist. The owner and author is a register pharmacist practising in the United States.

True to the blog’s slogan “Rants from the most trusted profession”, the Angry Pharmacist provides you an insight on the working life of a pharmacist. Although most of the articles lean towards the negative side, they do portray the problems faced by a working pharmacist. This is, after all, the Internet and you should be well-advised to take things with a pinch of salt, especially when the entries are full of angst. After a stressful day, it is a good way to release some steam by blogging about the various problems.

There are funny anecdotes and references to some real problems encountered by the author. All in all, the blog is a good read if you are looking for something to entertain yourself. For those of you who have yet to go on any attachment, it would give you a glimpse of what working life is like. I’m sure those who have been on attachments could very well relate to the various topics covered there.

One last note, as the Angry Pharmacist is based in USA, certain issues may not be of concern to us.
