Thanks Juan and CJ - I am still studying, but I guess I need to start by approaching some of the Universities. I have taught before and quite enjoyed it. I have been to the Philippines a few times and I have noticed some of the Public Health issues that people face particularly amongst the indigenous population that live in the forests of Palawan around Port Barton. These people remind me of the ones I currently work with. Lost land and live on the edge with a language that is shrinking, born and die in poverty. Then there are the street dwellers in Manila that have no sanitation and even less options in life. It is an interesting place and I love it even though I see many people having quite a hard time with their day to day life. Thank you for your comments and suggestions. Steve

Thanks - I guess I will just have to save harder and work there for no income when I am retired. I am an English teacher too so maybe I can earn a few Peso doing that. Thanks for your coments. Steve

Thanks - I had a feeling it was all export and no inport.

Hi I am an Australian Nurse with 25 years experience, a masters Degree and i am currently employed as a Nurse Practitioner in a single nursing post remote area clinic. I love my job and don't want to leave it for a few years yet, but I have also fallen in love with the Philippines and would love to work my last few years as a nurse there. Does anyone know how I start this process? Do I need a sponsor? I would be happy to lecture in community health, child health or remote area practice but I guess that these are not big topics in the Philippine Nursing Schools. I would be also happy to work in aged care or child health doing check ups for children with special needs - i.e. living in poverty. I would not be worried to much about a high income although some income would be needed. If anyone can help me please let me know. Steve
