There is always room for one more servant in God's kingdom
When Drs. Peter and Lin were told about an opportunity to come and serve in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea, they were told it is a place of Mud, Malaria and Mosquito's, quite the selling points. We now have beautiful foot paths, we have less malaria and few less mosquitos, thanks to our wonderful beautification team.
But Gulf Christian Services is now a much larger organisation, reaching many more people and with that comes many more challenges, that’s where we need help.
kapuna Hospital is so much more than just a hospital. It includes a training school for community healthcare workers, an elementary school, a church, as well as, building and community development projects.
A huge part of what we do happens through partnering with long and short term volunteers, We would love to talk to you if you are interested in being a volunteer here.

Testimonials
I'm currently living in a dormitory with the single men who are either staff at the hospital or are training to become primary health workers. In a community of one hundred regulars, everyone is more than friendly.
It's a common sight to see a bunch of people sitting around and telling stories, ranging from the latest happenings around the hospital to just recounting good memories from back home.
I had the opportunity to serve at Kapuna for 2.5 months. To be honest, I wish it was longer.
My job here has been media and communications.
Or sometimes just running random errands. From writing proposals for grants, to updating the website, to interviewing locals and staff for stories, to photographing events, I have gotten to cover the gamut of communications related projects.
Hello! I'm a U.S. medical student finishing up my last year of school, and I'm wrapping up a7-week tropical medicine elective here at Kapuna.
For students interested in coming, here are some tips:Bring your tools: stethoscope, opthalmoscope,otoscope *with covers*
Bring your old hospital scrubs or other clothes you don't mind getting grubby. All your clothing should be loose fitting (culturally appropriate), and pockets are always useful. Leave your white coat at home.
