If you're reading this, then Thuy has decided that the possibility of her going to West Africa to volunteer for Partners In Health to help with their Ebola response has become real enough to share with everyone.
About two months ago, Thuy applied and was quickly accepted into PIH. She will be joining a deployment of doctors who will travel to Sierra Leone to, among other things, treat patients affected with Ebola and train local staff in proper Ebola treatment procedures.
She departed for training in Boston on Tuesday, January 20. The week after she will fly to Sierra Leone to work on the ground with PIH.

Thuy's Flying Solo
Written: Wednesday, December 17, 2014
I had a formal screening interview with a recruiter from PIH yesterday (Tuesday).
Long story short, I need more experience working in these kinds of emergency medical relief situations before they'll consider bringing me on board. Sucks, but understandable.
Thuy will be flying to West Africa alone.

Shortly after Thuy received a call from PIH informing her that they want her on their team of doctors that will travel to West Africa to treat those infected with Ebola, PIH sent her an email (see below) with a formal offer and a few attachments with files that she would have to promptly fill out and return to PIH.

As far as I've been told, she is supposed to leave on January 5. We're already about a month away from this new adventure.

Thuy Applies to Partners in Health
Written: Tuesday, November 25, 2014
When I rejoined my wife, Thuy, back in Seattle after finishing my own leg of our combined humanitarian trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, and the Philippines, we both agreed that we wanted to do more humanitarian work abroad.
Around that time I was coming home in August, Ebola was quickly becoming, if not already a mainstay headline in the media. Around October, Thuy and I made the rather easy decision to find a way to get involved in the Ebola stricken countries in Africa.
