She spent the whole of 2001 there and three years later served in Niger at a pediatric malnutrition project.
After a stint with the Air Force and 30 years as an engineer, David Huntley was trained by MSF in logistics and immediately dispatched to central Java Indonesia after a massive earthquake in May of 2006. David helped implement a new method of using inflatable hospitals for an emergency orthapedic mission. Both Suniti and David live in the Portland area and will be presenting a MSF slide show interspersed with personal pictures and anecdotes of their experiences. Anybody interested in MSF or getting involved is sure to enjoy this presentation, along with conversation over wine and appetizers at Souk on 6th and NW Flanders.
