Nurse returns after six months in Aceh
It was the hardest thing Sarah-Jean Burnett had ever had to do.
It was also one of the best.
For six months the Invercargill nurse roughed it in Ujongbatee, a village 15km outside Banda Aceh, where she co-ordinated mobile medical teams of midwives, doctors and nurses after last year's devastating Boxing Day tsunami.
To say Miss Burnett is a changed woman by the experience of living in a foreign country, with a culture and language unlike her own, would be an understatement.
"I have never been so stressed in my life," she said.
For the first month Miss Burnett slept in a tent and for much of her overseas experience she had no access to hot water.
It's good to be back home, she said.
She found she had gained a new appreciation for the little things in life from her time away.
Little things like being able to flush the toilet without worrying about "wasting" water.
And being able to drink water from a tap without the fear of it being contaminated.
"I was talking to someone who was complaining about the taste of the water. I just said 'it's just so nice to be able to drink the water'," she said.
Despite the conditions, Miss Burnett said she would not rule out a return to Thailand and in fact would be keen to do more missionary work.
She was grateful to the many organisations who provided her with funding for her trip.
"I always thought that to do something like that you had to have a special quality but really the only skills you need are a listening ear and an ability to identify with people," she said.
